Exploring the Association between Oxygen Concentration and Life Expectancy in China: A Quantitative Analysis.

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
The aim of this study was to investigate and quantify the association between oxygen concentration and life expectancy. The data from 34 provinces and 39 municipalities were included in all analyses. Bayesian regression modeling with spatial-specific random effects was used to quantify the impact of oxygen concentration (measured as partial pressure of oxygen) on life expectancy, adjusting for other potential confounding factors. We used hierarchical cluster analysis to group the provinces according to disease burden and analyzed the oxygen levels and the characteristics of causes of death between the clusters. The Bayesian regression analysis showed that the life expectancy at the provincial level increased by 0.15 (95% CI: 0.10-0.19) years, while at the municipal level, it increased by 0.17 (95% CI: 0.12-0.22) years, with each additional unit (mmHg) of oxygen concentration, after controlling for potential confounding factors. Three clusters were identified in the hierarchical cluster analysis, which were characterized by different oxygen concentrations, and the years of life lost from causes potentially related to hypoxia were statistically significantly different between the clusters. A positive correlation was found between oxygen concentration and life expectancy in China. The differences in causes of death and oxygen levels in the provincial clusters suggested that oxygen concentration may be an important factor in life expectancy when mediated by diseases that are potentially related to hypoxia.
