Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and cognitive function in older US adults: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis.
Article in Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Air pollution effects on cognitive function have been increasingly recognized. Little is known about the impact of different sources of fine particulate (PM Methods: Cognitive assessment, including the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI), Digit Symbol Coding (DSC), and Digit Span (DS), was completed in 4392 older participants in the United States during 2010-2012. Residence-specific air pollution exposures (i.e., oxides of nitrogen [NO Results: An interquartile range (IQR) increase in EC (0.8 μg/m Conclusion: Higher exposure to traffic-related air pollutants including both tailpipe (EC and NO
