Climate, Air Quality and Their Contribution to Cardiovascular Disease Morbidity and Mortality in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Synthesis in Global heart, 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
Background: Increasing exposure to climatic features is strongly linked to various adverse health outcomes and mortality. While the link between these features and cardiovascular outcomes is well established, most studies are from high-income countries. Objectives: This review synthesizes evidence as well as research gaps on the relationship between climate indicators, household/ambient air pollution, and all-cause cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Methods: Seven electronic databases were searched up to June 15, 2024. Articles were included if they focused on LMICs, addressed all-cause CVD morbidity and/or mortality, and studied climate or environmental exposures. Studies were selected using ASReview LAB, extracted and analyzed with random effect meta-analysis performed if sufficient articles were identified. Results & Conclusion: Out of 7,306 articles, 58 met the inclusion criteria: 26 on morbidity, 29 on mortality, and 3 on both. Exposures included PM
