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: Occupational accidents involving exposure to biological material occur when workers come into contact with blood or other bodily fluids. The literature indicates that most of these events affect health professionals and could be prevented. Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile of occupational accidents involving exposure to biological material reported to the Notifiable Diseases Information System in the city of Goiânia, state of Goiás, Brazil. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed epidemiological aspects of occupational accidents with exposure to biological material using data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System for Goiânia between 2014 and 2024. Results: Most reported accidents involved nurses, nursing technicians, or nursing assistants (49.90%), women (76.75%), and individuals aged 20-29 years (37.44%). Among the victims, 580 were not vaccinated against hepatitis B, and 1,004 had unknown or unrecorded vaccination status. Blood was the most frequent biological material involved (75.47%). Loss to clinical follow-up occurred in 17.41% of cases. Two deaths directly related to the accidents were recorded. Conclusions: There is a need to expand continuing education programs in biosafety for health professionals and to promote large-scale hepatitis B vaccination campaigns. Improving the completeness and quality of reporting is also essential to reduce underreporting of these events.
