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: The mental health of Brazilian workers is compromised, and work-related mental disorders are becoming increasingly common. Several factors may be associated with the rise in these cases, among which precarious work stands out as particularly relevant. Objectives: To describe the epidemiological profile of work-related mental disorders in Brazil between 2015 and 2024. Methods: This is an ecological study, with a retrospective, descriptive and quantitative approach, which analyzed from the publicly available secondary data. Results: A total of 21,186 notifications were analyzed. Women accounted for 67% of the cases of work-related mental disorders, showing an upward annual trend. Furthermore, 60% of cases occurred among individuals with completed high school or higher education. In addition, 49% of the diagnoses corresponded to neurotic disorders, stress-related disorders, and somatoform disorders, whereas mood disorder and burnout syndrome accounted for approximately 27% of reported cases. The data also show that 56% of cases of work-related mental disorders progressed to temporary disability. Nonetheless, the study faced limitations due to the high proportion of missing or blank data in the reporting system. Conclusions: Based on the information presented in this study, it becomes feasible to develop effective preventive strategies to protect workers' health and safety, as well as to reduce government expenditures.
