Application of Computational Simulation for Occupational Safety Assessment in a Psychiatric Hospital.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Psychiatric hospitals present occupational hazards, with patients' unexpected behaviors constituting a unique factor that makes the safety climate crucial for preventing injuries and ensuring a healthy work environment. In this context, this study analyzed occupational injuries and safety conditions in a psychiatric hospital in southern Brazil, employing system dynamics (SD)-based computational simulation as a decision-support tool. The study was carried out in five stages: definition of the case study; collection and descriptive analysis of injury data; development of safety indicators; SD modeling and simulation; and model validation through sensitivity analysis. The simulation results indicated that: (i) a 10% increase in personal protective equipment (PPE) usage reduced perceived risk to 76.48%; (ii) a 25% increase in patients' unexpected behaviors resulted in six additional injuries; and (iii) standardizing 50% of activities could prevent seven injuries per year. The findings suggest that computational simulation enhances analytical capacity and demonstrate that the safety climate is directly influenced by mitigating occupational risks, implementing standardized internal procedures, training personnel, and establishing effective safety indicators.
