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: Essential service workers are exposed to significant occupational health risks. Low occupational health literacy (OHL) has been linked to increased risks of occupational injuries and work-related illnesses. However, limited evidence exists regarding the OHL of essential service workers and the impact of enterprise characteristics on OHL. This study aimed to examine the associations between enterprise characteristics and OHL among essential service workers in Guangdong Province, China. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 2,640 essential service workers from the environmental sanitation ( Results: The overall OHL level among essential service workers was 52.8%. Working in small and micro enterprises (adjusted OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.17-1.72) and private enterprises (adjusted OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.05-1.55) was associated with higher OHL, while employment in the express and food delivery industry was associated with lower OHL (adjusted OR = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.49-0.82). Monthly income significantly moderated these associations, with stronger effects observed in higher-income groups. Conclusion: Enterprise characteristics significantly influence OHL among essential service workers. Targeted OHL promotion strategies should be developed based on enterprise characteristics, with particular attention to large, state-owned enterprises and express and food delivery workers.
