Frequency of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among physical therapists: a systematic review.
Review in Revista brasileira de medicina do trabalho : publicacao oficial da Associacao Nacional de Medicina do Trabalho-ANAMT. 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
Musculoskeletal disorders are common among physical therapists because of constant physical work and mechanical stress during interventions. The aim is to synthesize the information of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among physical therapists. A systematic review of observational studies was conducted on PubMed and Google Academics, considering for searching the period of 2015 and 2021. The methodological quality of the studies included were appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme. The average percentages were calculated by adding the percentages of individual studies for each region and divided by the total number of studies. A total of 74 articles was screened, and 20 of which were assessed. In general, the frequency of work-related musculoskeletal disorders was high (75.27%), with low back pain (54.97%) in first, followed by neck pain (36.16%), upper back pain (30.18%), shoulder (25.52%), hand/wrist (20.92%; 28.32%) and knees (19.08%). It was concluded that physical therapists have high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders, in which low back, neck, shoulder pain and knees were the most reported body regions.
