Rotating shift work, with night shift work, affects cardiovascular risk factors: a 6-year follow-up study in the insulation industry.
Article in Occupational and environmental medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo assess absolute levels and longitudinal changes in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors over 6 years among rotating shift workers with night shift work and day workers in industry.
methodsWe studied three groups, 32 night shift workers in Plant A with a high night load, 23 in Plant B with a low night load and 25 day workers during a 6-year follow-up (FU). We collected demographics by questionnaire, measured blood pressure, resting heart rate, carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O
resultsOver the 6-year FU weight, cfPWV and CRP increased among shift workers with a high night load, and cIMT increased among shift workers with a low night load and among day workers. Over the 6-year FU, a significant decrease in V̇O
conclusionsRotating shift work with night shift work in industry associates with weight increase, inflammation, arterial stiffness, increase in cIMT and HbA1c but also decreased V̇O
