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

Ambient air pollution affects the respiratory system, but evidence of its impacts on asthma and lung function is lacking. We aimed to evaluate whether ambient air pollutants are associated with asthma prevalence, asthma outcomes, and lung function in adults. A cross-sectional study of 454,921 adults aged 37 to 73 years from the UK Biobank was performed with linear or logistic regression to assess the associations among air pollution and asthma prevalence, current wheezing, asthma hospitalizations and lung function. Each interquartile range (IQR) increase in of PM
