Neglected Occupational Risk Factors-A Contributor to Diagnostic Delays in Lung Cancer.
Article in Healthcare (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. 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
introductionFor lung cancer, the total interval time to diagnosis (TITD) is very important. If not detected by the screening program, the actual guidelines emphasize the need for a short delay to assure the initiation of treatment before 2 months from the initial symptoms. In order to shorten TITD, the individual risk has to be properly assessed by the primary physician.
objectiveThe assessment of the influence of the occupational exposure on the diagnostic delay-from the onset of symptoms to confirmed diagnosis-in a population of patients with lung cancer. MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 110 cases were recruited and were divided into two groups based on the individual assessment by an occupational physician.
resultsThere were 38 cases (34.55%) at high risk according to their occupational exposure and 72 controls. On average, the TITD was 3.41 +/-5.12 months. The TITD was significantly longer in the high-risk group ( DISCUSSION: Awareness about the occupational risk in workers who are or have been exposed and in health providers could reduce the total interval time to diagnosis.
