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

Introduction: Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel are frequently exposed to challenging working conditions that may contribute to psychosocial risks. Understanding these risks is critical for improving occupational health and developing preventive strategies. This study aimed to identify psychosocial risk factors among EMS personnel in Artvin, Turkey. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional design was employed. Data were collected from 68 participants using a sociodemographic characteristics form and the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire. Nonparametric statistical tests, including the Mann-Whitney Results: Among the EMS personnel surveyed, 47.5% were found to be at high risk in at least one psychosocial domain. Statistically significant differences were observed based on gender and professional role. Specifically, female EMS workers reported higher levels of emotional demands ( Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of addressing psychosocial risks in EMS settings. Factors such as professional role, working hours, and organizational support play a key role in shaping risk perception. Targeted interventions, including workload regulation, professional development, and supportive management strategies, are essential to enhance the well-being and resilience of EMS workers.
