Effects of a structured ergonomic training on knowledge and utilization of ergonomics among bankers - A single-blind pragmatic randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in Work (Reading, Mass.), 2025. 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
backgroundPoor ergonomic knowledge and its utilization is a significant risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal disorders reported to be high among bankers. Empirical evidence of an effective structured ergonomic training intervention on the knowledge and utilization (KU) of ergonomics for this population is lacking.
objectivesThis study sought to determine the effectiveness of a structured ergonomic training intervention on the KU of ergonomics principles among bankers in Nigeria.
methodsThis is a single-blind pragmatic randomized controlled trial with a cluster-randomization of 45 Nigerian bankers into intervention (structured ergonomic training - SET, n = 27) and control (placebo ergonomic training - PET, n = 18) groups. Ergonomic Knowledge/Utilization before (KU1) and after (KU2) training was assessed using a questionnaire developed through a two-step expert validation process. Data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using independent and paired t-tests at α=
resultsAt baseline, the participants' variables of age (28.52 ± 2.89years vs 28.72 ± 3.34years), BMI (25.14 ± 3.75 kgm
conclusionThis study finding revealed a low level of knowledge and utilization of ergonomic principles among Nigerian bankers and showed that structured ergonomic training protocol is effective in improving the knowledge and utilization of ergonomic principles among Nigerian bankers. A nationwide ergonomic training and evaluation using this training manual is recommended.
