Individual Risk Factors of PM
Article in Chest, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
backgroundAir pollution contributes to premature mortality, but potential impacts differ in populations with existing disease, particularly for individuals with multiple risk factors. Although COPD increases vulnerability to air pollution, individuals with COPD and other individual risk factors are at the intersection of multiple risks and may be especially susceptible to the effect of acute outdoor air pollution. RESEARCH QUESTION: What is the association between wintertime air pollution and mortality in patients with COPD and the modifying role of individual risk factors? STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThis study evaluated 19,243 deceased veterans with prior COPD diagnosis who had resided in 25 US metropolitan regions (2016-2019). Electronic health records included patient demographic characteristics; smoking status; and comorbidities such as asthma, coronary artery disease (CAD), obesity, and diabetes. Using geocoded addresses, individuals were assigned wintertime fine particulate matter (particulate matter smaller than 2.5 μg in diameter [PM
