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

Objectives: To analyze the status and temporal trends of silica dust hazards in industrial and mining enterprises in Sichuan Province from 2021 to 2025, and to identify key predictors of non-compliance to support evidence-based prevention strategies. Methods: A 5-year retrospective monitoring study was conducted among 1,200 enterprise monitoring cases across four key industries. A total of 3,669 posts were included. Respirable dust concentrations and compliance rates were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, trend tests, rank-sum test, and binary logistic regression. Results: The overall compliance rate for silica dust posts was 82.2%. Compliance improved significantly from 2021 to 2025 ( Conclusion: Although overall compliance improved, high-risk areas remain in large enterprises, machinery and building materials industries, high free silica operations, and underdeveloped regions. Targeted risk-based interventions are urgently needed.
