Associations between air pollution and daily outpatient visits for dry eye disease and the effect modification of temperature.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. 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
backgroundDry eye disease (DED) is one of the most common ocular surface disorders caused by various contributors. Air pollutants are considered a risk factor for ocular surface diseases. We aimed to investigate the associations between air pollutants (PM
methodsDaily data on DED outpatient visits and environmental variables during 2014-2019 were collected in Hangzhou, China. Distributed lag nonlinear models (DLNM) combined with time-stratified case-crossover design were utilized to evaluate the effects of air pollutants and PM
resultsEvery interquartile range increase in PM
conclusionOur results revealed that air pollutants were associated with DED outpatient visits. Low temperatures might increase the hazardous effects of air pollution. Besides, individuals aged 21-40 were vulnerable to air pollution, and winter was the high-risk period. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
