Long-Term Coarse Particulate Matter Exposure Is Associated with Asthma among Children in Medicaid.
Article in American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 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
rationaleShort- and long-term fine particulate matter (particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter [PM
objectivesTo understand the relationship between long-term fine and coarse PM exposure and asthma prevalence and morbidity among children.
methodsA semiparametric regression model that incorporated PM MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsExposure to coarse PM was associated with increased asthma diagnosis prevalence (rate ratio [RR] for 1-μg/m
conclusionsAmong children enrolled in Medicaid, exposure to higher average coarse PM levels is associated with increased asthma prevalence and morbidity. These results suggest the need for direct monitoring of coarse PM and reconsideration of limits on long-term average coarse PM pollution levels.
