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

rationaleEpidemiologic studies have demonstrated that exposure to particulate matter ambient pollution has adverse effects on lung health, exacerbated by cigarette smoking. Particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM

objectivesBased on the knowledge that the small airway epithelium (SAE) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of smoking-related lung disease, we hypothesized that elevated PM

methodsFrom 2009 to 2012, healthy nonsmoker (n = 29) and smoker (n = 129) residents of New York City underwent bronchoscopy with SAE brushing (2.6 ± 1.3 samples/subject; total of 405 samples). SAE gene expression was assessed by Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 microarray. New York City PM MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
