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

Background: The health risks of noise pollution have attracted global attention, especially the potential cardiovascular effects of occupational noise exposure. Our study aimed to investigate the associations of occupational noise with cardiovascular disease risk factors [fasting blood glucose (FBG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormality], and further evaluate the possible mediating role of hearing loss in the associations. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 64,382 participants exposed to occupational noise in China. Individual level of noise exposure with an 8-h equivalent A-sound level (L Results: L Conclusions: Occupational noise exposure was associated with adverse changes in FBG, blood pressure, and risk of ECG abnormality. Older people, workers exposed to dust or high temperature, and those with longer working duration were more susceptible. Hearing loss might play potential role in cardiovascular damage induced by noise exposure. Efficient strategies for reducing occupational noise exposure should be enhanced to control the cardiovascular threat from occupational noise pollution.
