Association between cumulative social risk, particulate matter environmental pollutant exposure, and cardiovascular disease risk.
Article in BMC cardiovascular disorders, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundLong-term exposure to pollution has been shown to increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, and may contribute to the increased risk of CVD among individuals with higher social risk.
methodsData from the community-based Heart Strategies Concentrating on Risk Evaluation (HeartSCORE) study were used to quantify Cumulative Social Risk (CSR) by assigning a score of 1 for the presence of each of 4 social risk factors: racial minority, single living, low income, and low educational status. 1-year average air pollution exposure to PM
resultsData were available on 1933 participants (mean age 59 years, 66% female, 44% Black). In a median follow up time of 8.3 years, 137 primary clinical outcome events occurred. PM
conclusionIn a community-based cohort study, we found that the association of increasing CSR with higher CVD and mortality risks is partially accounted for by exposure to PM
