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
backgroundDetrimental occupational environmental exposure constitutes a significant external factor influencing occupational stress. This study aimed to examine the correlation between noise exposure and the risk of occupational stress in coal miners.
methodsThis cross-sectional study employed data from a specialized occupational health survey conducted in 2023 at a large-scale coal mine in Gansu Province, China, an industry distinguished by elevated noise exposure levels. A total of 447 qualified participants were included in the final analysis. The correlation between noise exposure and occupational stress was examined using binary logistic regression. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was utilized to investigate the dose-response connection between these two variables. Subgroup analyses were conducted to explore the association across various population strata.
resultsThis study indicates that the prevalence of occupational stress is 48.99%. Statistically significant differences were observed between the occupational stress group and the non-occupational stress group regarding age, gender, physical exercise, type of employment, duration of service, and noise exposure level (all P < 0.05). Following the adjustment for multiple confounding variables, multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that noise exposure was a significant independent risk factor for occupational stress (P = 0.003). RCS analysis further confirmed a dose-response association between noise exposure and occupational stress, demonstrating that the risk of occupational stress rose progressively with escalating noise exposure intensity. Subgroup analysis not only validated this positive link but also established a robust correlation between noise exposure and occupational stress (odds ratio = 2.560, 95% confidence intervals: 1.550-4.230, P < 0.001).
conclusionThis study's results indicate that prolonged noise exposure among coal miners correlates with an elevated risk of occupational stress. These findings may assist in formulating health management strategies for individuals with varying degrees of noise exposure.
