Global Burden of Green Tobacco Sickness in Farm Workers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Prevalence, Gender Disparities, and Socio-Economic Determinants.

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
Green Tobacco Sickness (GTS) represents a subcategory of an occupational illness defined by nicotine dermal absorption among tobacco workers. This study aimed to assess the global prevalence of GTS, explore gender and socio-economic inequalities, and investigate temporal patterns for informing policy and preventive strategies. A meta-analysis and systematic review was conducted as per PRISMA guidelines. Databases like PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus were searched. Studies that report GTS prevalence, containing observational data, were selected. The data extraction process included study design, demographic data, and prevalence. Meta-regression was conducted to determine the impact of factors such as human development index (HDI), year of publication, and development category on pooled prevalence rate estimates, while overall pooled prevalence was calculated by random effects model. Publication bias was measured using funnel plots and Egger's test. Based on the 17 studies (17,609 workers), the estimated global prevalence of GTS stood at 23.6% (95% CI: 15.4%-34.5%) Women had higher prevalence (37.3%: 95% CI: 19.0%-60.2%) than men (21.7%: 95% CI: 11.4%-37.5%). Meta-regression analysis found an association of lower prevalence rates with higher HDI, GTS prevalence was higher in countries with lower HDI (β = -8.59,
