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

backgroundEmerging evidence links air pollution to respiratory infections, yet systematic assessments in cold regions remain limited. This study evaluates the short-term effects of six major air pollutants on influenza-like illness (ILI) incidence in Changchun, Northeast China, with implications for air quality management and respiratory disease prevention.

methodsILI surveillance data from Changchun were extracted from "China Influenza Surveillance Network" and the ambient air quality monitoring data of the city were collected from 2017 to 2022. A generalized additive model (GAM) with quasi-Poisson regression analysis was employed to quantify pollutant-ILI associations, adjusting for meteorological factors and temporal trends.

resultsAmong 84,010 ILI cases, immediate exposure effects were observed: each 10 µg/m³ increase in PM
