Association of ambient Particulate matter 2.5 with intensive care unit admission due to pneumonia: a distributed lag non-linear model.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers.
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
Air pollution in China has become a major environmental problem. There is a lack of evidence on the impact of haze (especially PM2.5) on intensive care unit admission due to pneumonia (ICUp). We hypothesized that PM2.5 was independently associated with ICUp and there was a non-linear time lag effect. All ICU admissions occurred from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016 in Sir Run-Run Shaw hospital were included in the study. The primary reasons for admission were categorized into pneumonia and non-pneumonia. Distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) was built to account for the effect of air quality parameters in both value and temporal lag dimensions. There was a total of 7487 ICU admissions during the study period, including 391 admissions due to pneumonia. The DLNM showed that the relative risk (RR) of ICUp increased with PM2.5 concentrations. At a PM2.5 concentration of 200 mcg/m3, the RR increased from 1.06 (95% CI: 0.57-1.95) at day 0 to 1.40 (95% CI: 1.05-1.86) at day 3, and returned normal at day 6 (RR: 1.13; 95% CI: 0.83-1.55). The study showed that PM2.5 was independently associated with the risk of ICUp, and the maximum effect occurred at 3 to 4 days after exposure.
