Fine particulate matter-sudden death association modified by ventricular hypertrophy and inflammation: a case-crossover study.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Sudden death accounts for approximately 10% of deaths among working-age adults and is associated with poor air quality. Objectives: To identify high-risk groups and potential modifiers and mediators of risk, we explored previously established associations between fine particulate matter (PM Methods: Sudden death victims in Wake County, NC, from 1 March 2013 to 28 February 2015 were identified by screening Emergency Medical Systems reports and adjudicated ( Results: Individuals having LVH or an NLR above 2.5 had PM Conclusion: LVH and inflammation may be the final step in the causal pathway whereby poor air quality and traditional risk factors trigger arrhythmia or myocardial ischemia and sudden death. The combination of statistical evidence with clinical knowledge can inform medical providers of underlying risks for their patients generally, while our findings here may help guide interventions to mitigate the incidence of sudden death.
