Effects of noise pollution in construction workers.
Observational study in Medicine, 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
Construction workers are exposed to typical risk factors such as noise pollution, high stress, and insufficient sleep. However, it remains unclear whether these hazards have an impact on the fatigue state or cognitive abilities of occupational populations. This study investigates the occurrence and distribution characteristics of fatigue and cognitive status among construction workers and explores relevant influencing factors. We conducted facility construction occupational workers as the study population and collected 3 types of data, including occupational health records, questionnaire measurements, and computer program tests. Occupational fatigue and cognitive decline levels of construction workers were assessed after the work cycle. The study included 114 male construction workers meeting the screening criteria, with a mean age of 28.0 ± 7.2 years. 42.11% of the construction workers were engaged in high-noise exposure (85 A-weighted decibels over an 8-hour period). Questionnaire results showed that after one work cycle, 24 (21.05%) and 28 (24.56%) were in a state of high depression or anxiety, respectively, and 32 were diagnosed with a state of high stress. Occupational fatigue was observed in 70 (61.40%), and cognitive decline was determined in 34 (29.82%). A univariate analysis revealed that participants who smoked, drank alcohol, had high seniority, and high noise exposure was at high risk of developing occupational fatigue. Trial participants with high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, short sleep duration, long working hours, and high noise exposure were more likely to experience cognitive decline. Further multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that high noise exposure had a significant effect on occupational fatigue (OR = 3.2, P < 0.01) and that high noise exposure and insufficient sleep (<6 hours) had a synergistic effect on cognitive decline. This study demonstrated that high noise exposure increased the health risks of fatigue and cognitive decline in construction workers, and there was synergistic effect between noise exposure and insufficient sleep.
