Computer vision syndrome and ergonomic risk factors among administrative workers in public health care facilities: a cross-sectional occupational study.
Article in Journal of occupational health, 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
objectivesComputer vision syndrome (CVS) is increasingly recognized as an occupational health issue in workplaces with heavy digital use. Although there is ample evidence among IT professionals and students, data on administrative staff in public health care is scarce. This research aimed to determine the prevalence of CVS and identify related factors among administrative workers in public health care facilities on Malaysia's east coast.
methodsA cross-sectional study involving 370 administrative workers from 6 government health care institutions was carried out using multistage random sampling. Data collection included a validated Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire and ergonomic assessments. Multiple logistic regression and mixed-effects logistic regression analyses were used to determine independent predictors of CVS.
resultsThe prevalence among participants was 59.7%. Key independent predictors included being female (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.05; 95% CI, 1.21-3.46), poor horizontal eye level positioning (aOR = 2.27; 95% CI, 1.40-3.70), and wearing corrective glasses (aOR = 1.84; 95% CI, 1.13-2.99).
conclusionsCVS was common among administrative workers in public health care facilities in the east coast state of Malaysia. Modifiable ergonomic factors, especially incorrect screen positioning, greatly raised the risk. These results emphasize the importance of workplace ergonomic interventions and regular visual health checks to reduce digital eye strain and enhance occupational health in settings with extensive computer use.
