Geospatial analysis of environmental atmospheric risk factors in neurodegenerative diseases: a systematic review update.
Synthesis in Systematic reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Following up the previously published systematic review on the same topic and realizing that new studies and evidence had emerged on the matter, we conducted an update on the same research terms. With the objective of updating the information relating environmental risk factors on neurodegenerative diseases and the geographic approaches used to address them, we searched PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus for all scientific studies considering the following three domains: neurodegenerative disease, environmental atmospheric factor and geographical analysis, using the same keywords as in the previously published systematic review. From February 2020 to February 2023, 35 papers were included versus 34 in the previous period, with dementia (including Alzheimer's disease) being the most focused disease (60.0%) in this update, opposed to multiple sclerosis on the last review (55.9%). Also, environmental pollutants such as PM
