1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The garment industry has experienced significant growth in the past decade, becoming a vital source of global employment. However, the mental wellbeing of garment industry workers has emerged as a growing concern. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the prevalence of depression and work-related stress among garment industry workers. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed and Web of Science, focusing on quantitative studies that reported data on depression and workplace stress among garment industry employees. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis, using a random effects model, revealed a pooled prevalence of 6% for depression and 14% for work-related stress. Heterogeneity was assessed using the I² and χ² statistics. The findings highlight the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address mental health challenges within the garment sector and to integrate these measures into existing occupational health programs.
