Association between chronic exposure to air pollution and mortality in the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

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
The impact of chronic exposure to air pollution and outcomes in the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unknown. The Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) from 2011 was utilized for this analysis. The NIS is a national database that captures 20% of all US in-patient hospitalizations from 47 states. Patients with ARDS who underwent mechanical ventilation from the highest 15 ozone pollution cities were compared with the rest of the country. Secondary analyses assessed outcomes of ARDS patients for ozone pollution and particulate matter pollution on a continuous scale by county of residence. A total of 8,023,590 hospital admissions from the 2011 NIS sample were analyzed. There were 93,950 patients who underwent mechanical ventilation for ARDS included in the study. Patients treated in high ozone regions had significantly higher unadjusted hospital mortality (34.9% versus 30.8%, p < 0.01) than patients in cities with control levels of ozone. After controlling for all variables in the model, treatment in a hospital located in a high ozone pollution area was associated with an increased odds of in-hospital mortality (OR 1.11, 95% CI 1.08-1.15, p < 0.01). After adjustment for all variables in the model, for each increase in ozone exposure by 0.01 ppm the OR for death was 1.07 (95% CI 1.06-1.08, p < 0.01). Similarly, for each increase in particulate matter exposure by 10 μg/m
