Differential effects of air pollution on ischemic stroke and ischemic heart disease by ethnicity in a nationwide cohort in the Netherlands.
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 5 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 risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and contributes to health disparities, particularly among minority ethnic groups, who often face higher exposure levels. Knowledge on whether the effect of air pollution on cardiovascular diseases differs between ethnic groups is crucial for identifying mechanisms underlying health disparities, ultimately informing targeted public health strategies and interventions. We explored differences in associations between air pollution and ischemic stroke and ischemic heart disease (IHD) for the six largest ethnic groups in the Netherlands.
methodsThis nationwide analysis (2014-2019), linked residential-address concentrations of NO
resultsBoth cohorts included > 9.5 million people. During follow-up, 127,673 (1.3%) developed ischemic stroke and 156,517 (1.6%) developed IHD. For ischemic stroke, the p-values for the interaction between air pollution and ethnicity were 0.057 for NO
conclusionsAssociations between air pollutants and ischemic stroke or IHD differ notably between ethnic groups in the Netherlands. Policies to reduce air pollution and prevent ischemic stroke should target populations vulnerable to air pollution with a high cardiovascular disease risk.
