Short-term changes in behavioral determinants following a theory-based workplace musculoskeletal health program among automobile manufacturing workers: a two-cluster program evaluation.

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
Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are a major occupational and public health burden among manufacturing workers. Existing workplace interventions often emphasize ergonomic assessment or generic safety education, with limited use of behavior-change theory. We examined short-term changes in Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)-based determinants and self-reported preventive behavior following an on-site, nurse-delivered musculoskeletal-health program. Methods: A two-cluster, cluster-allocated controlled program evaluation was conducted in two plants in City D, Republic of Korea ( Results: Significant group-by-time interactions were observed for PBC (χ Conclusion: The program was accompanied by short-term changes in PBC, behavioral intention, and self-reported preventive behavior. Given the two-cluster design, non-attention-matched control, single-item behavioral outcome, and absence of prospective registration, these findings should be interpreted as feasibility- and mechanism-oriented signals rather than evidence of efficacy.
