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

While short-term studies of the adverse effects of air pollution have found regional differences, there has been insufficient evidence from long-term studies. This study investigated the spatial variation of the association between long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution and cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence and their relevant regional characteristics. We selected 155,017 adults who have lived over 13 years in each of the 16 regions of South Korea from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. We assessed the individual long-term exposure as a 5-year average concentration at district-level residential addresses estimated by previously validated exposure prediction models. We applied time-dependent Cox-proportional hazard models to explore the spatial variation of long-term PM exposure's association with CVD incidence. After adjusting for individual-level characteristics, we estimated the region-specific hazard ratios (HRs) of incident CVD per 10 μg/m
