Prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter and the risk of spontaneous preterm birth: A population-based cohort study of twins.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2022. 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
Background: Studies in singletons have suggested that prenatal exposure to fine particulate matter (PM Purpose: To examine the associations of maternal exposure to total PM Methods: A total of 1,515 pairs of twins and their mothers were enrolled from a previous twin birth cohort that had been conducted at the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital School of Medicine of Tongji University in China. Participants who had iatrogenic PTBs were excluded. Maternal exposure to total PM Results: This study found that exposure to total PM Conclusion: The findings suggest that exposure to ambient air pollution with fine particles may be a risk factor for spontaneous PTB in twin pregnancies. The middle stage of pregnancy seems to be a critical window for the impacts of PM
