Wildfire Air Pollution and Rates of Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in Northern California in 2018.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025. 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
backgroundWe examined the association between acute cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and wildfire air pollution in California in 2018.
methodsThe study included adult (≥18 years) members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, an integrated health care system. Outcomes included CVD events (hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, or stroke, and CVD death) and death from any cause. Fine particulate air pollution (particulate matter <2.5 microns in diameter; PM
resultsOur study included 3.2 million adults with a total follow-up of 587.9 million person-days. High PM
conclusionsThere was some evidence of increased rates of CVD events and death during wildfires, but results were inconsistent. With ongoing climate change, large wildfires are a pressing public health concern and future work is needed to understand differences in health outcomes by wildfire.
