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
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate occupational health and safety risks among patient transport personnel at Vajira Hospital, Thailand, using the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS). The goal was to identify hazards, quantify risk levels, and propose targeted corrective measures to enhance workplace safety. Patients and Methods: Data were collected from 60 patient transport personnel and their supervisors using in-person, semi-structured interviews. Task-related hazards were identified through standardized checklists aligned with ISO 45001:2018. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, mean values) were applied to summarize participant characteristics and risk levels. Results: Among 21 assessed work activities: 2 activities were categorized as very high risk (ergonomic hazards). 12 activities as high risk. 6 activities as medium risk. 1 activity as low risk. Key hazards included repetitive lifting, awkward postures, and potential exposure to infectious agents. ISO 45001:2018 clauses 6.1.2 (Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment) and 8.1 (Operational Planning and Control) were most relevant for these high-risk activities. Conclusion: The study identifies urgent needs for ergonomic interventions, staff training, and procedural adjustments to reduce high-risk activities. Implementing ISO 45001:2018 systematically can improve hazard control and promote a safer working environment for patient transport personnel in hospital settings.
