The association of residential greenness and ambient particulate matter with hearing impairment in Chinese middle-aged and elderly adults: a nationwide cohort study.

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
objectiveTo examine the association of residential greening and atmospheric particulate matter (PM
methodsData from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (2011 to 2018 wave) were used. The degree of greening of residential areas were quantified using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). PM concentrations were obtained from the CHAP dataset. Hearing impairment was self-reported by the participants. Cox proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of hearing impairment associated with exposure to residential green spaces and PM. Additionally, the study investigated the potential modifying and mediating role between residential greenery, PM exposure and hearing impairment.
resultsA total of 13,585 participants aged 61.84 years (Standard deviation: 9.17) were included in this study. Over a span of 7 years, 2,527 cases of hearing impairment were reported, with an incidence rate of 18.6%. A higher degree of residential greenness was inversely associated with the risk of hearing impairment, showing a HR of 0.688 (95%CI: 0.659-0.719) for every 0.1 unit increment in NDVI. In contrast, a 10 µg/m
conclusionsHigh residential greenness was associated with a reduced risk of hearing impairment, whereas exposure to PM
