Intra-Continental Transport of Western Wildfire Smoke Heightens Health Risks Across North America.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Wildfires in North America, particularly in western states, have caused widespread environmental, economic, social, and health impacts. Smoke from these fires travels long distances, spreading pollutants and worsening the air quality across continents. Vulnerable groups, such as children, the elderly, and those with preexisting conditions, face heightened health risks, as do firefighters working in extreme conditions. Wildfire firefighters are of particular concern as they are fighting fires in extreme conditions with minimal protective equipment. This study examined wildfire smoke during July-August 2021, when intense fires in Canada and the western U.S. led to cross-continental smoke transport and caused significant impacts on the air quality across North America. Using the GEOS-Chem model, we simulated the transport and distribution of PM
