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 and Aims: The construction sector in Nepal has expanded considerably, accompanied by various occupational health risks due to inadequate knowledge and safety protocols. This study evaluated the knowledge and safety practices of Construction workers working at a hydropower construction site. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out at the Tanahun hydropower construction site in Tanahun among 316 participants using simple random sampling. Data was collected through face-to-face interview using the semi structure questionnaire. The descriptive and inferential statistics were performed through SPSS version 20. Binary logistic regression was used to assess the association between variables, where variables with variance inflation factor less than 2 were included in multivariable analysis. The variables with p-values < 0.05 considered statistically significant at 95% confidence interval. Results: The study showed that 65% and 64% of the participants exhibited adequate knowledge and good practice of safety protocols, respectively. The prevalence of various health issues such as skin infections (27.8%), musculoskeletal problems (21.5%) and electric shocks (14.6%), were notably high among workers. Adequate knowledge was significantly correlated with a higher level of educational attainment (AOR = 4.73, 95% CI, 1.78-12.41), and an absence of a history of musculoskeletal disorders (AOR = 9.59, 95%, CI, 3.49-26.35). Furthermore, adequate knowledge was related to extended working hours (AOR = 2.95, 95% CI, 1.28-6.81) whereas good practices were related to reduced working hours (AOR = 1.86, 95% CI, 1.63-3.41) and married marital status (AOR = 16.41,95%, CI, 4.27-62.99). Conclusion: The study reveals that only two-thirds of participants in hydropower construction have adequate knowledge and safety practices, emphasizing the need for special attention to employees with musculoskeletal issues, longer shifts and lower education to safeguard the health of workforce.
