1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsTo assess the association of air pollution exposure at different time scales with arterial stiffness in participants with and without atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).

methodsWe measured participants' arterial stiffness with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) from October 2016 to January 2020. Concentrations of air pollutants including fine particles < 2.5 μm aerodynamic diameter (PM

resultsSeven hundred sixty-five participants were finally included and four hunderd sixty (60.1%) participants had a history of ASCVD. Based on the partial regression coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) calculated from GEEs using linear regression, each 10 μg/m

conclusionLong-term exposure to air pollution is closely associated with higher arterial stiffness in participants with and without ASCVD. Reducing air pollution exposure is essential in the primary and secondary prevention of ASCVD.
