Associations between source-apportioned PM
Article in Environmental research, 2023. 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
backgroundAir pollution exposure is a significant risk factor for morbidity and mortality, especially for those with pre-existing chronic disease. Previous studies highlighted the risks that long-term particulate matter exposure has for readmissions. However, few studies have evaluated source and component specific associations particularly among vulnerable patient populations.
objectivesUse electronic health records from 5556 heart failure (HF) patients diagnosed between July 5, 2004 and December 31, 2010 that were part of the EPA CARES resource in conjunction with modeled source-specific fine particulate matter (PM
methodsWe used zero-inflated mixed effects Poisson models with a random intercept for zip code to model associations while adjusting for age at diagnosis, year of diagnosis, race, sex, smoking status, and neighborhood socioeconomic status. We undertook several sensitivity analyses to explore the impact of geocoding precision and other factors on associations and expressed associations per interquartile range increase in exposures.
resultsWe observed associations between 30-day readmissions and an interquartile range increase in gasoline- (16.9% increase; 95% confidence interval = 4.8%, 30.4%) and diesel-derived PM DISCUSSION: There appear to be source specific associations between PM
