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: Occupational injuries and work-related diseases remain a significant and persistent threat to the safety, health, and well-being of workers around the globe. This nationwide study aimed to examine long-term trends in occupational injuries and work-related diseases in Thailand from 2007 to 2024. Methods: Administrative data from the Thailand Social Security Office were used to assess trends and to identify factors associated with fatal outcomes among reported occupational injury cases in 2024. Annual injury rates were calculated using decided cases as the numerator and the average number of registered employees as the denominator. Risk ratios (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated. Results: A total of 2,006,840 occupational injury cases were recorded. While the number of registered employees increased over time, overall injury rates declined from 24.57 to 7.29 per 1,000 workers and severe injury rates from 6.75 to 2.13 per 1,000 workers. However, fatal injury rates declined markedly but less consistently during the study period, from 9.61 to 4.94 per 100,000 workers. Musculoskeletal disorders remained the most frequently reported work-related disease. In 2024, older age (≥55 years; RR = 2.02, 95% CI: 1.56-2.62), construction-site injury (RR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.64-2.42), vehicle-related injury (RR = 28.70, 95% CI: 24.55-33.55), and employment in establishments with ≤1,000 workers (RR = 1.75, 95% CI: 1.35-2.27) were associated with higher risk of fatal outcomes. Conclusion: While overall occupational injury rates declined substantially over time, fatal injury rates showed a less consistent decline, indicating the need for continued efforts to prevent severe occupational injuries and fatalities.
