1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BackgroundFlight attendants (FAs) are subject to unique occupational demands, increasing their risk of developing work-related musculoskeletal pain (WRMSP). WRMSP is influenced by physical, psychosocial, and demographic factors that may change over time due to evolving work environments and practices.ObjectivesCompare the prevalence of FAs' WRMSP in 2016 vs 2024; Identify key physical and psychosocial predictors of WRMSP in each period; explore implications for ergonomic interventions and health promotion strategies tailored to the aviation work environment.MethodsTwo cross-sectional cohorts of FAs, from 2016 (n = 94) and 2024 (n = 89
