Analysis of long- and medium-term particulate matter exposures and stroke in the US-based Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
Article in Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeStroke is a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and air pollution is the third largest contributor to global stroke burden. Existing studies investigating the association between long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) and stroke incidence have been mixed and very little is known about the associations with medium-term exposures. Therefore, we wanted to evaluate these associations in an cohort of male health professionals.
methodsWe assessed the association of PM exposures in the previous 1 and 12 months with incident total, ischemic, and hemorrhagic stroke in 49,603 men in the prospective US-based Health Professionals' Follow-up Study 1988-2007. We used spatiotemporal prediction models to estimate monthly PM less than 10 (PM
resultsWe observed 1,467 cases of incident stroke. Average levels of 12-month PM
conclusionsWe observed only weak evidence of an association between long-term exposure to PM and risks of overall incident stroke. There was a suggestion of increasing hemorrhagic stroke risk.
