Self-Reported Knowledge and Awareness of Musician-Related Disorders Among Music Educators and Pre-Service Music Teachers in Higher Education Institutions in Türkiye: An Occupational Health Literacy Perspective.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesMusicians face occupational health risks from repetitive movement, sustained posture, and intensive practice. This study examined self-reported knowledge of musician-related disorders, physical complaints, and selected health practices among music educators and pre-service music teachers, using occupational health literacy (OHL) as an interpretive framework.
methodsA cross-sectional survey included 432 participants from public higher education institutions in Türkiye (83 educators; 349 pre-service teachers). The primary outcome was a common 15-item self-reported disorder knowledge score (range 15-75). Psychometric and nonparametric analyses included effect sizes, confidence intervals, and multiplicity correction.
resultsInstrument-related physical problems were reported by 49.4% of educators and 53.0% of pre-service teachers. After false discovery rate correction, hand/wrist complaints were more frequent among pre-service teachers. The score showed a one-factor structure and excellent internal consistency. Educators (
conclusionsKnowledge was uneven, especially for specialized conditions. Targeted musician-health education, communication, and referral pathways are warranted. The score is not a comprehensive OHL measure or a test of clinical competence, and causal effects on preventive behavior or occupational well-being cannot be inferred.
