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

What is known about this topic?: Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common work-related disorder that is affected by personal, biomechanical, and psychosocial factors. Existing risk assessment methods often lack precision, hindering early intervention. As of August 1, 2025, occupational musculoskeletal disorders were recognized in China, emphasizing the need for effective preventive tools. What has been added by this report?: This study developed machine learning models to identify carpal tunnel syndrome risk using a national dataset ( What are the implications for public health practices?: These findings advocate for the use of data-driven screening tools in occupational health screening to enable early interventions. Employers should prioritize ergonomic improvements and symptom-reporting systems in alignment with China's proactive occupational disease policies.
