A systematic review of spatial and temporal epidemiological approaches, focus on lung cancer risk associated with particulate matter.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
backgroundParticulate matter (PM), including the major risk factor for lung cancer (LC), greatly impacts human health. Although numerous studies have highlighted spatiotemporal patterns and PM-LC associations, these studies have not been well-reviewed. Thus, we examined epidemiological studies linked with PM-LC and provided concise, up-to-date data.
methodsWe used certain keywords to review articles published in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar until 30th June 2024 and identified 1474 research articles. We then filtered the research articles based on our criteria and ultimately dropped down to 30 for this review.
resultsOut of the thirty reviewed studies on the PM-LC relation, twenty-four focused on PM
conclusionsVery few studies have used advanced spatiotemporal methods to examine the association between LC and PM. Advanced spatiotemporal analysis techniques should be employed to explore this association in specific geographical locations. Further research should utilize spatiotemporal epidemiological approaches to study the link between PM and lung cancer.
