Exploring chronotype, sleep patterns, and health in petrochemical shift workers.
Observational study in Atencion primaria, 2026. 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
objectiveChronotype is a personal characteristic affecting an individual's adaptability to shift work. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between chronotype, shift work-related health disorders and sleep quality in shift workers in the petrochemical industry in southern Iran.
designThis was a cross-sectional study. SITE: The study was conducted in a petrochemical complex located in southern Iran.
participants250 male shift workers with at least five years of shift work experience, no major physical or mental health issues, and no use of alcohol, drugs, or sleep medications.
interventionsNo interventions were applied, as this was an observational cross-sectional study. MAIN MEASUREMENTS: Data were collected using the Shift Work Impact on Health and Social Disorders (SOS) Questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), and the Cognitive Failure Questionnaire.
resultsThe prevalence of musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular disorders was significantly higher in morning types than evening types (p<0.05). Cognitive failures and sleep quality also differed significantly between the two groups (p<0.05).
conclusionsEvening-type individuals showed higher adaptability to shift work and lower vulnerability to negative consequences. Circadian typology should be considered when assigning workers to shifts, especially for sensitive jobs.
