Ambient air pollution and emergency department visits for asthma in Erie County, New York 2007-2012.
Article in International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
purpose8% of the US population has asthma. Air pollution is linked to exacerbation in susceptible individuals. The objective was to identify air pollutants that increased the risk of asthma emergency department visits during a time wherein a polluting factory was criminally convicted, changing local air pollutant levels.
methodsAn ecological time-series design used a daily count of asthma emergency visits from 2007 to 2012 as the dependent variable. Independent variables air pollutants (NO
results76,651 emergency asthma visits were included with an average of 35 visits per day (SD = 9.2, range 11-80) in a stationary time series. Increased visit volume in fall and spring had no associations to the air pollutants. Associations between individual air pollutants occurred in otherwise low-volume months for asthma emergency visits. The strongest relationship was an 11.6% increase in the asthma emergency visit rate during the month of June. In monthly groupings that removed most of the autumn and spring months, O
