Impact of air pollution on benign paroxysmal positional vertigo incidence: a retrospective study of the citizens of Seoul, South Korea.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is among the most common inner ear diseases. Although BPPV is one of the most common causes of dizziness, its pathogenesis remains unknown. Air pollutants might reach the middle ear through the eustachian tube and be absorbed into the inner ear through the round window membrane, increasing the risk of BPPV. We investigated the relationship between air pollution and BPPV risk. Data were extracted from the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database, which contains health claims information of the entire South Korean population. Variables of interest included the number of patients diagnosed with BPPV in Seoul, South Korea, patients' clinical and demographic characteristics, and osteopenia status. Seoul's daily air pollution indicators, including SO
