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

Objective: Chronic diseases and cardiometabolic disorders are major public health and occupational health challenges in Taiwan, particularly among healthcare workers exposed to shift work, high occupational stress, and irregular schedules. Nurses and hospital staff are especially vulnerable to hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, stroke, and cardiovascular disease risk. Using a localized digital risk assessment platform and machine learning-based data-driven modeling, this study aimed to evaluate chronic disease risk among medical center employees and identify high-risk occupational subgroups for precision health management. Participants/Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 1,916 employees aged 35-70 at a Northern Taiwan medical center from 2019 to 2024. Ten-year predicted risks for coronary artery disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and major adverse cardiovascular events were estimated using the Chronic Disease Risk Assessment Platform. To assess associations between predicted risk and demographic or occupational variables, we used ordinal logistic regression, generalized linear models, and decision tree algorithms. Results: Hypertension exhibited the highest overall predicted risk (38.6%), followed by type 2 diabetes mellitus and MACE. Male employees had higher odds of being classified into a higher predicted HTN risk category than female employees (odds ratio [OR] = 4.18, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.21-5.44, Conclusion: This study applied disease risk prediction models developed by the Taiwan Health Promotion Administration platform, integrating clinical indicators and machine learning analyses to identify healthcare workers at increased disease risk. The findings suggest that localized digital prediction tools may be integrated into institutional health surveillance systems to support continuous health monitoring, early risk identification, and proactive preventive care in healthcare settings.
