Air pollution mixture complexity and its effect on PM
Article in Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2024. 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
Background: Fine particulate matter (PM Methods: The PMCI is constructed as an index spanning seven different pollutants, relative to the PM Results: We estimate a relative excess risk of 1.0042 (95% confidence interval: 1.0023, 1.0061) for an interquartile range increase (from 1.09 to 1.95) of the PMCI. The PMCI predicts a substantial part of within-country relative risk heterogeneity with much less between-country heterogeneity explained. The Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion of the main model are lower than those of alternative meta-regression models considering the oxidative capacity of PM Conclusions: The PMCI represents an efficient and simple predictor of local PM
