Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 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
Background: Commercial vehicle drivers are prone to multiple health risks due to their sedentary occupation, irregular schedules, and stress. This study aimed to assess their knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP), prevalence of lifestyle diseases, and psychological well-being. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 commercial drivers in Central India. Data were collected using a pre-tested questionnaire assessing KAP, substance use, and health-seeking behavior. Clinical parameters, including body mass index, blood pressure, and random blood glucose, were measured. Psychological well-being was assessed using the WHO-5 Index. Results: Of the 300 participants, 63.3% were smokers, and 50% consumed alcohol. Overweight and obesity were observed in 31% and 25.3% of drivers, respectively. Hypertension was noted in 24%, and 12.7% had diabetes. Psychological well-being was poor in 15.7% and moderate in 29% of participants, with poorer scores associated with obesity and substance use. Conclusion: The study highlights significant health and behavioral risks among commercial drivers. Routine screening, health education, and stress management interventions are essential to mitigate long-term morbidity in this high-risk occupational group.
