Cardiovascular Disease Among Loggers and Commercial Fishermen: A Preliminary Risk Assessment.
Article in Journal of agromedicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectivesCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally, and suitable interventions are needed for prevention. Certain occupations can create barriers to accessing healthcare while also being a driving force behind lifestyle behaviors that increase risk of CVD. This study analyzed the Framingham 10-year risk for developing coronary heart disease (CHD), among Maine loggers and commercial fishermen residing in Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Alaska compared to the general population of working adults.
methodsBetween 2019 and 2024, loggers and commercial fishermen engaged in health screenings via three studies. Self-reported data regarding health behaviors, as well as anthropometric and biomarker measures, were collected at each screening and were obtained from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for a sample of working adults. Women were excluded due to their limited representation in the logging and commercial fishing populations. Framingham Risk Scores (FRS) for Hard CHD were established for each population, and comparisons were made based on both overall risk and component risk factors.
resultsThis study included 44 loggers, 164 commercial fishermen, and 1073 working adults from the NHANES cohort. Commercial fishermen had the highest estimated 10-year FRS with an average of 6.95%, followed by the NHANES sample at 6.39% and loggers with 5.70%.
conclusionThough this study demonstrates loggers and commercial fishermen have a similar CVD risk profile to other working aged men, this risk for all three groups is higher than ideal. This study indicates a need to better understand risk among these populations, as well as how the occupational setting can be used for future intervention.
