Integrated evidence-based medical policy for seafarers: a novel risk stratification framework for high-risk and circumpolar zones.
Article in International journal of circumpolar health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Maritime medical fitness is vital for safety in high-risk and medically isolated environments, yet current international policies remain inconsistent, opaque, and weakly evidence-based. This paper presents the Integrated EBM-Policy Framework (IEPF), a three-tier model integrating systematic clinical evidence appraisal, a maritime-specific risk stratification matrix, and adaptive regulatory feedback. Developed via a mixed-methods study of 112 maritime health professionals across nine jurisdictions, the IEPF increases clarity, defensibility, and international harmonization of fitness-to-embark decisions, especially for cardiovascular and mental health risks. It reduces unnecessary exclusions and strengthens applicability in circumpolar and remote operations, positioning IEPF as a scalable benchmark for global maritime health governance and high-risk occupational policy.
