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

Long-term exposure to air pollution results in a high incidence of cardiovascular disease. Many studies have found that short-term exposure to air pollution can trigger acute myocardial infarction. This study aims to determine whether results in areas with different levels of severity of air pollution are similar. The study design is a time-stratified case-crossover analysis. This was a retrospective study based on hospital medical records. The study period was since 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2018. Research data were collected from Taoyuan Hospital, located in an area with low severity of pollution, and Taichung Hospital, located in an area with high severity of pollution. The correlation between short-term air pollution exposure and acute myocardial infarction was analyzed. The correlation between short-term exposure to ambient air pollutants and acute myocardial infarction was not significant for the cases collected from Taoyuan Hospital (PM
