Effects of air pollution on the development and progression of digestive diseases: an umbrella review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Synthesis in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Air pollution, especially particulate matter (PM), is one of the most common risk factors for global burden of disease. However, its effect on the risk of digestive diseases is unclear. Herein, we attempt to explore this issue by reviewing the existing evidence from published meta-analyses. We conducted a systematic literature search to identify all relevant meta-analyses regarding the association of air pollution with digestive diseases, and summarize their major findings. We assessed the methodological quality and evidence quality of the included meta-analyses using the AMSTAR-2 and GRADE tools, respectively, and the overlap of primary studies was assessed by the GROOVE tool. Nine meta-analyses were included in our analysis, containing 43 primary studies with high overlap. In the included meta-analyses, the methodological quality was from critically low to moderate, and the evidence quality was from very low to moderate. The exposure was primarily PM
