Fine Particulate Matter Air Pollution and Mortality Risk Among US Cancer Patients and Survivors.
Article in JNCI cancer spectrum, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM Methods: A primary cohort of 5 591 168 of cancer patients and a 5-year survivor cohort of 2 318 068 was constructed using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program data from 2000 to 2016, linked with county-level estimates of long-term average concentrations of PM Results: Of those who died, 26% died of noncancer causes, mostly from cardiopulmonary disease. Minimal PM Conclusions: Air pollution is adversely associated with cardiopulmonary mortality for cancer patients and survivors, especially those who received chemotherapy or radiation treatment. Given ubiquitous and involuntary air pollution exposures and large numbers of cancer patients and survivors, these results are of substantial clinical and public health importance.
