ReviewThe Science of the total environment2020
Global review of recent source apportionments for airborne particulate matter.
Review in The Science of the total environment, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 56 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
Source apportionments have become increasingly performed to determine the origins of ambient particulate pollution. The results can be helpful in designing mitigation strategies to improve air quality. Source specific particulate matter (PM) concentrations are also being used in health effects studies to be able to focus attention on those sources most likely to be responsible for the observed adverse health effects. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) released its initial compilation of source apportionment studies published through August 2014. This initial database was described by Karagulian et al. (Atmospheric Environment120 (2015) 475-483). In the present report, a new compilation has been prepared of those apportionments published since 2014 through December 2019. In addition, the database has been expanded to include apportionments of heavy metals, water-soluble components, and carbonaceous components in ambient PM. As a result of this work, we have developed and presented some perspectives on source apportionment going forward. We also have made a series of recommendations for source apportionment studies and reporting them. It is essential for papers to provide a minimum set of information so that the study can be adequately assessed, and the results utilized by others in making policy decisions or as part of other scientific studies.
