Household air pollution as a determinant of health status: A study on older adults in Siliguri Municipal Corporation, India.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Household air pollution (HAP), stemming from solid fuels, traditional cooking practices, and indoor pollutants like incense and mosquito oils, poses severe health risks, particularly for older adults. This study assesses the impact of HAP on self-reported health (SRH) among older adults in Siliguri municipal corporation, India. A cross-sectional survey of 400 older adults used multiple binary logistic regression to analyze HAP's impact on poor SRH. Solid fuel use, traditional cooking, lack of ventilation, and exposure to mosquito oil and family smoking were significantly linked to poorer health. Findings underscore the need for policy measures to reduce HAP through cleaner energy and ventilation improvements, aligning with SDG 7 goals to enhance the health of vulnerable populations.
