The Correlation of Global Burden of Vision Impairment and Ambient Atmospheric Fine Particulate Matter.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Purpose: To assess the correlation between the worldwide burden of vision impairment (VI) and fine particulate matter (PM) 2.5. Methods: In this retrospective cross-sectional study, global and national prevalence and disability-adjusted lost year (DALY) numbers and rates of total VI, glaucoma, cataract, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease database. The global and national levels of PM2.5 levels were also extracted. The main outcome measures were the correlation of PM2.5 levels with total VI and three ocular diseases in different age, sex, and socioeconomic subgroups. Results: In 2019, the worldwide prevalence of total VI and exposure level of PM2.5 was 9.6% (95% uncertainty interval: 8.0-11.3) and 42.5 μg/m Conclusion: National prevalence rates of VI and three major ocular diseases correlate significantly with PM2.5 exposure levels, worldwide.
