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

A multitude of consequences from global warming and environmental pollution can already be seen for nature and humans. The continuous burning of fossil fuels leads to rising temperatures and rising water levels causing extreme weather phenomena like heat waves and flooding. Increasing levels of air pollution also cause adverse health effects. This is especially important for pollen allergy sufferers because air pollution plays a central role in the interactions between pollen and humans. Today, pollen allergy sufferers are confronted with longer pollen seasons and pollen with potentially increased allergenicity. The effects for pollen allergy sufferers are an increased duration and severity of symptoms. New research results from the Medical University of Vienna prove that out of the most important air pollution parameters (particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and ozone) especially ozone causes increased symptom severity in pollen allergy sufferers during the birch, grass, and ragweed pollen seasons.
