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

objectiveTo describe awareness of ambient wildfire smoke among U.S. adults with and without asthma.

methodsWe analyzed data from the summer wave of the 2021

resultsOver 98% of the estimated population of U.S. adults lived in a zip code affected by ≥1 day of medium- or heavy-density wildfire smoke, which occurred on an average of 16 days in the past year. Awareness of wildfire smoke was reported by 19% of U.S. adults and was higher among adults with than without asthma (PR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.55), including in zip codes affected by heavy-density smoke (PR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.63) and with 22 or more days of medium- to heavy-density smoke (PR: 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.47).

conclusionsAlthough awareness of wildfire smoke was higher among U.S. adults with than without asthma, low percentages of awareness overall indicate a need for health communication about wildfire smoke and its health risks.
