Occupational Health Status and Self-reported Health Issues among Coffee Plantation Workers in Karnataka, India.
Article in Indian journal of occupational and environmental medicine. 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: Indian coffee cultivation relies on a substantial labor force, notably women and children, who are exposed to significant occupational health and safety risks due to physical strain, agrochemical application, and adverse environmental conditions. This study aimed to evaluate their working conditions, lifestyle factors, occupational health hazards, injuries, and associated health implications. Methodology: This cross-sectional study comprised coffee processing workers ( Findings: The study revealed that 36.3% of the participants lacked personal protective equipment (PPE) at work, and 24% of the subjects were illiterate. Heavy lifting, bad weather, falls, and physical strain were among the risks. Coffee processing workers faced occupational injuries (40%), leech bites (66%), and palm discoloration (51%). There was higher prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders ( Conclusion: Improving occupational health in coffee plantations is crucial to reducing high morbidity rates among workers, and PPE and training can significantly mitigate risks in them. Implementing regular health interventions may be significantly reduced health burden in them.
