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

backgroundPulmonary space-occupying lesions are typical chronic pulmonary diseases that contribute significantly to healthcare resource use and impose a large disease burden in China. A time-series ecological trend study was conducted to investigate the associations between environmental factors and hospitalizations for pulmonary space-occupying lesions in North of China from 2014 to 2022.

methodsThe DLNM was used to quantify the association of environmental factors with lung cancer admissions. The heating-, age-, gender-, malignancy-specific effects were further estimated to identify the susceptible groups.

resultsDuring the study period, fluctuations in air pollutants and climate conditions closely mirrored changes in hospitalizations for pulmonary space-occupying lesions. Totally, the distributed lag surface showed clear positive associations between pulmonary tumor hospitalization and PM

conclusionsThe present study illustrated risk and burden for pulmonary space-occupying lesions hospitalization associated with air pollution, especially among population aged ≥ 65, or female.
