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.

Abstract
Background: Female workers were the main force in electronic manufacturing enterprises. This study aims to understand the current status of long working hours among female workers in the electronic manufacturing industry in Guangdong Province, and to explore the association of long working hours on anxiety and self-reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional survey using convenience sampling method from July to September 2022, including a total of 193 electronic manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province. We distributed a total of 5,300 copies of the Results: The detection rates of long working hours (working more than 40 h a week), anxiety and self-reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms among female workers in electronics manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province were 67.8%, 23.0%, and 43.2%, respectively. The detection rate of self-reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms in the anxiety group was higher than that in the non-anxiety group (65.2 Conclusions: The female workers employed in electronics manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province generally worked for long weekly hours, and a positive association was found between long working hours and the occurrence of anxiety and self-reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms.
