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

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and risk factors of blood-borne occupational exposures among healthcare workers at Shaoxing Second Hospital from 2020 to 2025 and to inform targeted prevention and control strategies.MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 252 blood-borne occupational exposure events reported from January 2020 to December 2025. Occupational distribution, occurrence patterns, exposure routes, high-risk operations, pathogens, and postexposure prophylaxis data were statistically analyzed.ResultsThe annual standardized incidence of blood-borne occupational exposures increased year by year. Nurses and staff with <5 years of service were the highest-risk groups. Sharp instrument injuries accounted for 92.46% of exposures. Hepatitis B virus was the dominant known pathogen (25.78%), whereas the hepatitis B virus postexposure prophylaxis rate was only 21.21%.ConclusionsThese findings indicate that healthcare workers at this hospital exhibit distinct high-risk features for blood-borne occupational exposures. To mitigate occupational exposure risks, a systematic and precise prevention program, hierarchical management of high-risk groups, and regular hepatitis B virus immune monitoring are recommended.
