Occupational risk of Parkinson's disease and employment status following hospital admission: secondary analysis of ICOD-R case-control data in Japan.

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
objectivesTo investigate the association between occupation and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk and whether patients with PD change occupation after onset.
designA matched case-control study using secondary analysis of the Inpatient Clinico-Occupational Survey of the Rosai Hospital Group in Japan.
settingA nationwide multicentre inpatient dataset in Japan from 2005 to 2021.
participantsThe PD group comprised 2205 inpatients diagnosed with PD (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision code G20) and 10 436 matched controls without PD, matched for age, sex, year of admission and hospital. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURE: Associations between the longest-held occupation-classified by industry (blue-collar, service, white-collar) and occupational class (blue-collar workers, service workers, professionals, managers)-and PD risk. SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURE: Occupations and industries with increased PD risk; occupational changes before and after diagnosis among participants aged <60 years; and associations of PD risk with chemical exposure, smoking status and sex.
resultsAfter adjustment for smoking and alcohol, professionals in the service (OR=2.01, 95% CI 1.24 to 3.25) and white-collar (OR=1.33, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.61) industries had higher PD risk than service workers. Doctors, dentists, veterinarians and pharmacists showed elevated risk. Among 160 PD patients, 47% were unemployed, 20% left voluntarily and 30% continued working after diagnosis. Chemical handling was not associated with PD risk after adjustment of multiple comparisons. Former or current smokers among blue-collar and service workers in blue-collar industry had a decreased risk of PD.
conclusionsProfessionals in the service and white-collar industries, particularly those in healthcare occupations, had a higher risk of PD. Approximately 20% became unemployed after diagnosis.
