Mortality of American Indian and Alaska Native workers by occupation and industry, 2020-2022.
Article in Journal of safety research, 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
introductionLittle occupational health and safety information exists on American Indian or Alaska Native (AI/AN) workers. The objective of this study is to describe the leading underlying causes of death among AI/AN workers by occupation and industry.
methodsMortality data indicating decedents' race as: (1) 'American Indian/Alaska Native' (AI/AN) single-race or (2) AI/AN single-race and AI/AN in combination with any other race(s) were abstracted from 2020 to 2022 public use multiple cause of death files maintained in the National Vital Statistics System. Records with decedents: (a) 15 years of age and older, (b) residing in the United States, and (c) having both usual industry and usual occupation were included in this analysis. Mortality data were analyzed by occupation and industry for the 15 leading causes of death and COVID-19. Age-adjusted proportionate mortality ratios (PMRs) and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for usual occupation groups and usual industry groups for these causes of death.
resultsOccupation groups with the highest number and proportion of deaths were construction and extraction (AI/AN single-race 15.9%; AI/AN combined 14.9%) and production (AI/AN single-race and combined 8.8%). The industry groups with the highest number and proportion of deaths include construction (AI/AN single-race 15.7%; AI/AN combined 14.9%) and healthcare and social assistance (AI/AN single-race 12.3%; AI/AN combined 12.2%). The three highest PMRs by occupation were suicide in the military and computer and mathematical occupations and homicide in construction and extraction occupations. The three highest PMRs by industry were suicide in the military and utilities industries and hypertension in the information industries. The top three causes of death for AI/AN combined race decedents were heart disease, cancer, and COVID-19.
conclusionThese results indicate that causes of death among AI/AN workers vary by specific occupations and industries. Focusing intervention and prevention in these highest risk occupations and industries may reduce morbidity and mortality among workers. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: The results of this study can be used by tribes, tribal organizations, tribal leaders, and researchers to assist in prevention, control methods, and tailored communication efforts.
