An Exploratory Cross-Sectional Study on Cardiac Rhythm Disorders in Women Working in IT Sector and Non-IT Sector Establishments in Hyderabad Using Continuous Ambulatory Wireless Cardiac Monitoring.

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
backgroundScreening for cardiac arrhythmias provides an advantage in care by enabling the discovery of the causes and planning of prevention strategies through digital transformation.
objectivesThis study aimed to screen women working in the information and technology (IT) and non-IT sectors who face stress from work and home responsibilities for cardiac rhythm disturbances using ambulatory monitoring and to assess several associated risk factors. METHODOLOGY: The study was conducted to screen women for cardiac rhythm disorders. The stress levels of all participants were assessed using a questionnaire. Differences in parameters such as heart rate variability, frequency-corrected QT (QTc), and heart rate between women in the IT sector and those in non-IT sectors were compared.
resultsIn the IT sector, 109 women were screened, and 4.58% were found to have cardiac arrhythmias. Specifically, two cases of second-degree AV block (type 1), two cases of atrial tachycardia in the 21 to 30-year-old age group, and one case of sinus pause were identified. In comparison, among 109 women from the non-IT sector, only 2.75% had arrhythmias, including one case of atrial fibrillation and two cases of second-degree AV block (type 2) in the age group of 51 to 58. Except for the minimum heart rate, all other parameters such as heart rate variability, QTc prolongation, and maximum heart rate were elevated among women in the IT sector, indicating a potential stress factor.
conclusionThis technology transformation implies the need for simpler screening tools to nurture new preventive lifestyle strategies.
