Systematic review of the effects of black carbon on cardiovascular disease among individuals with pre-existing disease.
Synthesis in International journal of public health, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
objectivesRecent interest has developed in understanding the health effects attributable to different components of particulate matter. This review evaluates the effects of black carbon (BC) on cardiovascular disease in individuals with pre-existing disease using evidence from epidemiologic and experimental studies.
methodsA systematic literature search was conducted to identify epidemiologic and experimental studies examining the relationship between BC and cardiovascular health effects in humans with pre-existing diseases. Nineteen epidemiologic and six experimental studies were included. Risk of bias was evaluated for each study.
resultsEvidence across studies suggested ambient BC is associated with changes in subclinical cardiovascular health effects in individuals with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Limited evidence demonstrated that chronic respiratory disease does not modify the effect of BC on cardiovascular health.
conclusionsResults in these studies consistently demonstrated that diabetes is a risk factor for BC-related cardiovascular effects, including increased interleukin-6 and ECG parameters. Cardiovascular effects were associated with BC in individuals with CAD, but few comparisons to individuals without CAD were provided in the literature.
