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

Aging is a driving factor of various non-communicable diseases. Air pollution and greenspace also affect human health to varying degrees. However, the relationship between air pollution, green space and aging has not been clearly studied. To address this gap, we conducted a study estimating the biological age of 156,690 individuals in the UK Biobank using the PhenoAge algorithm from clinical traits. We defined the residual between biological age and actual age as Phenotypic Age Acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) to indicate the acceleration of biological aging. Our analysis utilized linear regression models to investigate the relationships between environmental exposures of air pollution/greenspace and PhenoAgeAccel. Stratification analyses were performed based on sex, smoking status, drinking status, body mass index and telomere length. Additionally, we explored potential interactions by setting variable cross-product terms of environment exposures with smoking and drinking status into the models. We observed that air pollution, such as PM
