Kidney transplants in Nepali migrant workers: health and employment insights.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Background: Chronic kidney disease affects 10-15% of the global population and 6% in Nepal. Nepali migrant workers in Gulf countries and Malaysia face significant health risks, including kidney problems, due to harsh working conditions. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among Nepali returnee migrant workers who had a kidney transplant from 2013 to 2023 at a National Transplant Center. Data on their sociodemographic profiles, employment, and health practices were collected via telephone questionnaires. Results: Among the 217 returnee migrants surveyed, 56.2% had returned from Gulf countries, with two-thirds working in temperatures above 40°C and over 75% working more than 10 hours daily. Alarmingly, 78.1% drank less than 2 L of water daily, and many frequently skipped urinations despite the urge. Conclusion: The study underscores the severe health hazards faced by these workers and calls for stricter policies to protect their well-being.
