A systematic review of cardiovascular responses associated with ambient black carbon and fine particulate matter.
Synthesis in Environment international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
backgroundExposure to fine particulate matter (PM
objectivesTo elucidate whether BC is associated with distinct, or stronger, cardiovascular responses compared to PM DATA SOURCES: We conducted a stepwise systematic literature search of the PubMed, Web of Science and TOXLINE databases and applied Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for reporting our results. STUDY ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA: Studies reporting effect estimates for the association of quantitative measurements of ambient BC (or EC) and PM STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS
methodsRisk of bias evaluations assessed aspects of internal validity of study findings based on study design, conduct, and reporting to identify potential issues related to confounding or other biases. Study results are presented to facilitate comparison of the consistency of associations with PM
resultsOur results demonstrate similar associations for BC (or EC) and PM LIMITATIONS: We were unable to assess the independence of the effect of BC, relative the effect of PM
conclusionsOverall, the evidence indicates that both BC (or EC) and PM
