Air Pollution, Clustering of Particulate Matter Components, and Breast Cancer in the Sister Study: A U.S.-Wide Cohort.
Article in Environmental health perspectives, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 66 papers, 7 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
backgroundParticulate matter (PM) is a complex mixture. Geographic variations in PM may explain the lack of consistent associations with breast cancer.
objectiveWe aimed to evaluate the relationship between air pollution, PM components, and breast cancer risk in a United States-wide prospective cohort.
methodsWe estimated annual average ambient residential levels of particulate matter
resultsDuring follow-up (
conclusionAir pollution measures were related to both invasive breast cancer and DCIS within certain geographic regions and PM component clusters. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP5131.
