Is long-term exposure to air pollution associated with poor sleep quality in rural China?
Article in Environment international, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundPoor sleep quality is associated with poor quality of life and may even lead to mental illnesses. Several studies have indicated the association between exposure to air pollution and sleep quality. However, the evidence is very limited in China, especially in rural areas.
methodsParticipants in this study were obtained from the Henan Rural Cohort established during 2015-2017. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in the baseline survey. Poor sleep quality was defined by the global score of PSQI > 5. Participants' exposures to PM
