Prevalence and Risk Factors of Computer Vision Syndrome Among Bankers in Bangladesh.
Article in Public health challenges, 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
Background: The increasing reliance on digital devices in modern workplaces has raised significant concerns about computer vision syndrome (CVS), particularly among professionals in screen-intensive environments, like the banking sector. Despite its widespread prevalence, limited research exists on CVS within the Bangladeshi banking sector. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of CVS among bank employees in Bangladesh and to evaluate the key demographic, occupational, and environmental risk factors associated with its occurrence. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a structured, self-administered questionnaire. The required sample size was calculated a prior based on an expected prevalence of 85.2%, a 5% margin of error, and a 95% confidence level, resulting in a target sample of 201 Bangladeshi bank employees. The presence of CVS was determined using the validated CVS-Q tool. Descriptive statistics were conducted to summarize demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the study participants. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify significant predictors of CVS. Results: The prevalence of CVS among participants was 55.2%. The most reported symptoms were headache (79%), burning eyes (63%), and eye pain (52%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that increased daily computer use (odds ratios [OR]: 2.05; 95% CI: 1.07-4.83) and very bright monitor (OR: 113; 95% CI: 1.88-18,710) were significantly associated with higher odds of CVS. Conversely, larger family size (OR: 0.63; 95% CI: 0.39-0.92), higher weekly overtime (OR: 0.77; 95% CI: 0.60-0.91), and number of leave days taken for eye problems (OR: 0.03; 95% CI: 0.00-0.41) were associated with reduced odds of CVS. Conclusion: CVS is a prevalent occupational health concern among Bangladeshi bank employees, driven by modifiable factors such as screen brightness and prolonged computer use. Findings underscore the need for ergonomic interventions, regular eye screening, and educational measures to mitigate CVS and promote workplace well-being.
