Long-term exposure to ambient PM2.5, particulate constituents and hospital admissions from non-respiratory infection.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
The association between PM2.5 and non-respiratory infections is unclear. Using data from Medicare beneficiaries and high-resolution datasets of PM2.5 and its constituents across 39,296 ZIP codes in the U.S between 2000 and 2016, we investigated the associations between annual PM2.5, PM2.5 constituents, source-specific PM2.5, and hospital admissions from non-respiratory infections. Each standard deviation (3.7-μg m-3) increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 10.8% (95%CI 10.8-11.2%) increase in rate of hospital admissions from non-respiratory infections. Sulfates (30.8%), Nickel (22.5%) and Copper (15.3%) contributed the largest weights in the observed associations. Each standard deviation increase in PM2.5 components sourced from oil combustion, coal burning, traffic, dirt, and regionally transported nitrates was associated with 14.5% (95%CI 7.6-21.8%), 18.2% (95%CI 7.2-30.2%), 20.6% (95%CI 5.6-37.9%), 8.9% (95%CI 0.3-18.4%) and 7.8% (95%CI 0.6-15.5%) increases in hospital admissions from non-respiratory infections. Our results suggested that non-respiratory infections are an under-appreciated health effect of PM2.5.
