Applying a Risk-Risk Tradeoff Economics Approach to the Occupational Health of Nurses: Economic and Microbial Risk Analysis.

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
Public health challenges are increasingly complex, and interventions reducing the risk of one health outcome may increase the risk of another. We focus on the increased risk of occupational asthma (OA) for nurses and the decreased risk of occupational infections from contaminated surfaces from intensifying cleaning and disinfection protocols (i.e., during the COVID-19 pandemic). A risk-risk trade-off approach allows for the calculation of tolerable risks. We then determine, through a quantitative microbial risk assessment, critical concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 hygiene standards for surfaces that would achieve those tolerance levels. We find that, on average, in three out of our four scenarios, nurses prefer contracting a respiratory viral illness over OA around 80% of the time. Knowing another person who has contracted a respiratory viral infection (RVI) is negatively related to increasing respiratory viral infection risk. Critical concentrations were <0.01 viral particles/cm
