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

To analyze the short-term effects of air pollution on the hospitalization rates of individuals with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), stroke, and myocardial infarction (MI) after adjusting for confounding factors including weather, day of the week, holidays, and long-term trends in Jinan, China.Hospitalization information was extracted based on data from the primary class 3-A hospitals in Jinan from 2013 to 2015. The concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NO2, and O3 were obtained from Jinan Environment Monitoring Center. The relative risk and 95% confidence intervals of AECOPD, stroke, and MI were estimated using generalized additive models with quasi-Poisson distribution in the mgcv package, using R software, version 1.0.136.The incremental increased concentrations of particulate pollutants including PM2.5 and PM10 were significantly associated with increased risk of hospitalization of AECOPD, stroke, and MI, and the adverse influences of PM2.5 on these diseases were generally stronger than that of PM10. The incremental increased concentrations of gaseous pollutants including SO2, NO2, and O3 were significantly associated with increased risk of hospitalization of stroke and MI in this population.Air pollution has significant adverse effects on hospitalization rates of individuals with AECOPD, stroke, and MI in Jinan, China.
