Association between air pollution and hypertension hospitalizations: a time series analysis in Lanzhou.
Article 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 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
backgroundAir pollution is a major environmental risk factor. Hypertension is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. However, few studies have evaluated the impact of exposure to ambient air pollution on hypertension hospitalizations.
objectiveThis study aims to explore the correlation between exposure to air pollution and hospital admissions for hypertension, to evaluate the short-term effects of air pollution on hypertension hospitalizations and its lag effects.
methodsWe collected air pollution concentration and hypertension hospitalization data from 2013 to 2020. Distributed lag non-linear models were employed to assess the impact of air pollution on hypertension hospitalizations in Lanzhou City. We also performed subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses.
resultsA total of 47,884 cases of hypertension hospitalizations were included. Short-term exposure to NO
conclusionShort-term exposure to ambient air pollution increases risk of hypertension hospitalization.
