Meta-analysis of association between particulate matter and stroke attack.

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
aimsWe conducted systematic review as well as meta-analyses on the association between particulate matter and daily stroke attack from a number of epidemiologic studies.
methodsTwelve quantitative studies about the associations between particulate matter and stroke attack met the inclusive criteria. We evaluated the odds ratio (OR) of stroke attack associated with per 10 μg/m(3) increase of the concentration of PM(10) (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 10 μm) or PM(2.5) (particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) as effect scale, and a sensitivity analysis for the results was conducted.
resultsIn the time-series design, PM(10) exposure wasn't related to an increased risk of daily stroke attack [OR per 10 μg/m(3) = 1.002, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.999~1.005], PM(2.5) exposure were related to an increased risk of daily stroke attack (OR per 10 μg/m(3) = 1.006, 95%CI: 1.002~1.010]; but in the case-crossover studies, PM(10) exposure was related to increase in risk of daily stroke attack (OR per 10 μg/m(3) = 1.028, 95%CI: 1.001~1.057). PM(2.5) exposure was not significant association with daily stroke attack (OR per 10 μg/m(3) = 1.016, 95%CI: 0.937~1.097). Sensitivity analysis showed that the results for PM(10) , PM(2.5) and daily stroke attack were robust in the time-series design.
conclusionsWe found some evidence for an effect of air pollutants on stroke attack risk.
