Why physicians who treat hypertension should know more about air pollution.
Review in Journal of clinical hypertension (Greenwich, Conn.), 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Exposure to ambient levels of particulate matter (PM) air pollution increases the risk of a host of cardiovascular diseases and events. One potential mechanism explaining this association is that acute exposure to PM at high concentrations is capable of raising blood pressure within hours to days. Epidemiologic studies confirm that even commonly encountered levels of airborne pollutants can result in a prohypertensive response in humans. Several biologic pathways may be involved, including autonomic nervous system imbalance and arterial vascular dysfunction/vasoconstriction due to systemic oxidative stress/inflammation triggered by PM inhalation. The clinical importance of this vasopressor response and its relative role in promoting cardiovascular events associated with PM remain unclear. Because air pollution exposure is ubiquitous throughout the world, however, all health care providers and especially those who treat hypertension should be aware of this emerging and important biologic relationship.
