1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Frontline healthcare workers in India face heavy workloads, occupational hazards and limited access to occupational health services. This mixed-methods study conducted in a tertiary care institution and its rural primary health centre in southern India assessed morbidity patterns among 102 workers using quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews. Musculoskeletal disorders were most common (49%), followed by respiratory illnesses (18.6%) and mental health problems (7.8%), with nearly half anaemic and 38.2% overweight or obese. Participants reported physical strain, administrative burden, poor ergonomic support and barriers to healthcare access. Thus, we show a substantial morbidity burden and the need for integrated occupational health services, regular screening and supportive workplace interventions.
