1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAdenocarcinoma (AC) is the most common lung cancer among non-smokers, but few studies have assessed the effect of PM

methodsIncident lung AC was identified through linkage with U.S. state cancer registries. Ambient PM

resultsA total of 164 incident lung AC occurred during follow-up. Each 10 μg/m

conclusionsIncreased risk of AC was observed for each 10 μg/m
