Ambient Air Pollution and Kawasaki Disease in Korean Children: A Study of the National Health Insurance Claim Data.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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 Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology that primarily affects children under 5 years of age. Some researchers suggested a potential triggering effect of air pollution on KD, but the findings are inconsistent and limited by small sample size. We investigated the association between ambient air pollution and KD among the population of South Korea younger than 5 years using the National Health Insurance claim data between 2007 and 2019. Methods and Results We obtained the data regarding particulate matter ≤10 or 2.5 µm in diameter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and ozone from 235 regulatory monitoring stations. Using a time-stratified case-crossover design, we performed conditional logistic regression to estimate odds ratios (OR) of KD according to interquartile range increases in each air pollutant concentration on the day of fever onset after adjusting for temperature and relative humidity. We identified 51 486 children treated for KD during the study period. An interquartile range increase (14.67 μg/m
