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
Introduction: The online delivery executives concerned with doorstep delivery of commodities are highly vulnerable to Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WRMSDs) because of their job designs. The present study evaluates the prevalence of WRMSDs among 103 online delivery executives. Materials and Methods: The study entails 39 online food delivery executives (FDE), 38 goods delivery executives (DE) and 26 rapid delivery executives (RDE) as experimental groups. 36 sedentary male clerical employees were also recruited as control group (CG) for comparison of WRMSDs to online delivery executives. For evaluating WRMSDs, Modified Nordic Musculoskeletal Disorder Questionnaire (NMQ) was administered. For statistical analysis one way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's Results and Discussion: Significant differences in body weight, body mass index (BMI), work duration, load lifted, lifting frequency and average BPD (Body Part Discomfort) scores existed between experimental and CG. Significant correlations were evident between work experience, work duration, load lifted, lifting frequency and average BPD scores in experimental groups. OWAS scores disclosed that experimental groups were more prone to WRMSDs than CG. Conclusion: The study infers that delivery executives are extremely prone to WRMSDs on account of their occupational factors.
