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

Considering the surge of urban gig drivers, 111 two-wheeler delivery riders (ages 18-40) in Panvel, MMR were assessed using NMQ and GHQ-12. High (87.3%) prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders primarily in the lower back (68%), significantly correlating with age (P<0.0086) and weight carried (P<0.0001) were observed. Additionally, 42.3% reported psychological distress (GHQ-12≥3), significantly associated with weight carried (P=0.0329), distance travelled (P=0.041), work hours (P=0.006) and the number of body parts affected by musculoskeletal disorders (P=0.0007). In conclusion, this occupational group faces a high risk of early-onset musculoskeletal disorders and long-term disability. Consequently, stakeholders must establish regulatory guidelines for this emerging sector.
