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

backgroundExposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO

methodsTo estimate the attributable disease burden, World Health Organization's EBD approach was used. We first conducted a systematic literature review to identify exposure-response functions (ERFs) which mathematically represent the association between NO

resultsThe systematic review yielded recent ERFs for some exposure-outcome pairs, but not always for both mortality and morbidity outcomes. A full DALY calculation was possible for COPD and T2DM. For the other outcomes, either only YLL or YLD were calculated. Summing up the estimated YLD and YLL of all outcomes, the burden of disease due to NO
