Occupational exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation among outdoor workers in Lisbon, 2023-first results of the MEAOW study.
Observational study in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is the primary external factor associated with the development of skin cancer. Accurate, valid, and reliable objective estimates of individual UVR exposure are required to quantify the risk of skin cancer in outdoor workers. Such data can be used to develop and implement policies and practices to reduce, or at least manage, UVR exposure in outdoor workers. Currently, there is a dearth of objective exposure data for many countries. Lisbon, as a low-mid-latitude region (38°46' N), experiences a high UV Index (UVI) for a long period of the year, increasing the potential risk of skin cancer among outdoor workers in Portugal. This is the first study to objectively measure personal solar UVR exposure among outdoor workers in Portugal. Methods: This study used a prospective observational design during seven consecutive months (April to October 2023) studying personal UV exposure of Asphalthers, Gardeners, Gravediggers, Pavers, and Sanitation Workers. Measurements of personal exposure were conducted using the GENESIS-UV measurement system, and ambient solar UVR data was estimated Jm Results: Personal hourly and daily doses measured by the GENESIS-UV measurement system were lower than the solar irradiation measured on a horizontal surface by the UV-Biometer radiometer. Gravediggers and Gardeners showed in average, the highest monthly daily averages (250 Jm Discussion: This study measured solar UVR exposure in important occupations not so often studied. The ICNRIP occupational limit value of 133 J/m
