1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionCommuting exposes millions of people to carcinogens from traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) but is seldomly considered in epidemiologic studies of lung cancer. In the prospective United Kingdom (UK) Biobank cohort study, we investigated associations between commute patterns, residential nitrogen dioxide concentrations (NO

methodsWe analyzed 234,124 employed participants at baseline (2006-2010). There were 493 incident lung cancer cases diagnosed over an average 7-year follow-up. Subjects were cross-classified into exclusive categories of commute mode (automobile, public transportation, walking, cycling, active mixture, and other mixture) and frequency (regular: 1-4, often: ≥5 work-bound trips/week). Annual average residential NO

resultsCompared to regular automobile use, commuting often by public transportation was associated with increased lung cancer risk (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.58, 95% confidence intervals (CI):1.08-2.33). Additionally, we found a positive exposure-response relationship with residential NO

conclusionsCommuters residing in high-NO
