Sharps-related injuries in health care workers: a case-crossover study David N Fisman, MD, MPH, Anthony D Harris, MD, MPH, Gary S Sorock, PhD, Murray A Mittleman, MD, DrPH The American Journal of Medicine Volume 114, Issue 8, Pages 688-694 (June 2003) DOI: 10.1016/S0002-9343(03)00082-2

Figure Frequency of exposure during hazard and control periods. Black bars represent the proportion of study subjects reporting an exposure during the hazard period (i.e., at the time of injury). White bars represent the average frequency of exposure during the control period. Incidence rate ratios for exposures of interest were calculated using stratified analytic methods, so that ratios cannot be calculated directly from the Figure.
