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: Annual health examinations provide an opportunity to monitor major health findings among hospital staff. This study described examination uptake, sex-specific differences, and four-year trends in major health findings using institutional annual health examination reports. Methods: An ecological time-series study was conducted using aggregated annual health examination reports from 2022 to 2025. Examination uptake, age composition, sex-specific differences, and temporal trends in major health findings were evaluated using annual institutional summary data. Annual sex differences were assessed using chi-square or Fisher's exact tests. Temporal trends across the four examination cycles were evaluated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. Results: A total of 14,077 annual examination records were included. Examination uptake remained above 90% across all four examination cycles, with female staff consistently showing higher uptake than male staff (all Conclusion: Major health findings remained common among hospital staff over the four-year study period, with significant temporal changes and clear sex-specific differences. These findings support targeted health monitoring and preventive management in hospital settings.
