The associations between short-term exposure to ambient particulate matter and hospitalizations for osteoporotic fracture in Hangzhou: a time-stratified case-crossover study.
Article in Archives of osteoporosis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Our results suggested that short-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) might increase the risks of hospitalizations for osteoporotic fractures. Government should protect its citizens by putting in place policies to reduce unhealthy emissions and air pollution.
introductionOsteoporotic fractures are accompanied by high rates of disability and mortality. PM has been linked with many health outcomes. However, few studies focus on the association of short-term exposure to ambient PM and osteoporotic fractures.
methodsData on daily mean air pollution, meteorological factors, and hospitalizations for osteoporotic fractures were collected from Hangzhou, China, 2020-2021. A time-stratified case-crossover design with extended Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to assess the associations between PM and osteoporotic fractures.
resultsShort-term exposure to PM significantly increased the risks of hospitalizations for osteoporotic fractures at cumulative lag days. Per 10 μg/m
conclusionsOur study showed PM was positively linked with the risk of osteoporotic fractures. Females and people aged over 65 years old were more susceptible to PM. The adverse impacts of PM
