1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Climate change is a major driver of the frequency and severity of wildfires caused by extended periods of drought and hotter, drier weather superimposed on the legacy of fire suppression in the Mountain West of the United States. In recent years, increased wildfire smoke has negated the improvements in air quality made by clean energy transitions. Wildfire smoke is a complex mixture of gases and solids, a chief constituent of which is fine particulate matter (PM
