Cardiometabolic Health Effects of Air Pollution, Noise, Green Space, and Socioeconomic Status: The HERMES Study.
Article in Research report (Health Effects Institute), 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
introductionWe conducted the HERMES study to address the role of source-specific air pollution and the independent effects of air pollution, noise, and green space as well as the identification of susceptible subgroups defined by sociodemographic characteristics, stress conditions, and comorbidity in relation to cardiometabolic health. We studied three cohorts, a chemistry transport model (CTM) system, a noise model, a high-resolution land use map, and Danish registries on health and sociodemographic variables at individual and small-area levels.
methodsUsing Danish registries we defined a cohort of about 2 million persons living in Denmark. We also used data from the Danish National Health Survey (DNHS) (
resultsAir pollution concentrations correlated well with measurements. Analyses of associations between air pollution and type 2 diabetes, MI, and stroke adjusted for individual and area-level sociodemographic variables showed that further adjustment for individual lifestyle had minimal effect on the risk estimates. All four air pollutants were associated with a higher risk of each of the three endpoints. The local traffic contribution to air pollution seemed more important for risk of type 2 diabetes than the contribution from all other sources combined, whereas for MI and stroke, the contribution from all other sources seemed most important. The most consistent interaction was a stronger association between air pollution and type 2 diabetes, MI, and stroke among those with comorbidity. For MI and stroke, we found several interactions on the absolute scale that could not be detected on the relative scale. In multiexposure analyses, we found that particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM
