Air Pollution and Its Adverse Effects on the Central Nervous System.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Who cites it

Abstract
Air pollution is recognized as a significant public health problem and is associated with illnesses of the central nervous system (CNS) as well as neuroinflammation and neuropathology. Air pollution may cause chronic brain inflammation, white matter abnormalities, and microglia activation, which increases the risk of autism spectrum disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods: A literature review was done on "PubMed, EMBASE and Web of Science" on the relationship of air pollution with MS and stroke, using the keywords "air pollution" OR "pollution"; "ambient air pollution," "particulate matter, ozone, black carbon" AND "stroke" OR "cerebrovascular diseases," "multiple sclerosis," "neuroinflammation," or "neurodegeneration." Results: We first identified 128 articles and their related websites, of which 44 articles were further selected for analysis mainly based on study relevance, study quality and reliability, and date of publication. Further studies on air pollution and its adverse effects on the CNS are needed. The findings of such studies will support the development of appropriate preventive measures in the future.
