Health-related quality of life among injured farmers in rural Vietnam: an analysis using EQ-5D-5 L.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Agricultural work-related injuries may substantially impair health-related quality of life (HRQoL), yet evidence from rural Vietnam remains limited, particularly regarding gender-specific patterns. This study aimed to assess HRQoL among injured farmers and explore gender-stratified determinants in Thai Binh province, Vietnam. A cross-sectional study was conducted in six rural communes using the EQ-5D-5 L instrument. A total of 411 farmers who had experienced at least one work-related injury in the previous six months were recruited through multistage random sampling and interviewed at home using a structured questionnaire. The mean EQ-5D-5 L index score was 0.811 (SD = 0.096), with no significant difference between genders (0.809 in males vs. 0.812 in females; p = 0.606). Multivariate Tobit regression identified repeated injuries, machinery-related injuries, heatstroke, and older age as significant predictors of lower HRQoL in both sexes. The most affected EQ-5D-5 L domains were usual activities, pain/discomfort, and mobility. These findings highlight the detrimental impact of agricultural injuries on rural farmers’ well-being and emphasize the need for gender-sensitive occupational health policies and targeted injury prevention strategies in Vietnam’s agricultural sector.
