Current trend in air pollution exposure and stroke.
Review in Current opinion in neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 of reviewStroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and exposure to particulate air pollution is now recognized as one of the major modifiable risk factors. However, air pollution can vary in terms of physicochemical composition and exposition specificities. Therefore, its relationships with stroke outcomes remain under intense investigation. RECENT
findingsThis review highlights, alongside particles, that short-term and long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) and ozone is likely to be also linked to stroke-related morbidity and mortality. Moreover, air pollution may increase the risk of transitioning from a healthy status to incident stroke and morbimortality after stroke. Additionally, relationships may vary depending on the air pollution mixture (e.g., particle-related components, pollutant interactions), pollutant sources (e.g., traffic-related or not), stroke etiology (ischemic or hemorrhagic), or exposed individual's characteristics (e.g., age, sex, genetic predisposition, weight status). Nonlinear dose-response functions and short-term effect lags have been reported, but these features need further refinement. SUMMARY: The relationship between stroke and air pollution is now well established. Nonetheless, future research should further consider the physicochemical properties of air pollutants, multiple exposures, and individual vulnerabilities. Moreover, advanced statistical methods should be more commonly used to better describe the relationship shapes.
