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

It is well known that one of the main causes of mortality and reduced life expectancy is air pollution, which carries the highest burden of diseases attributed to environmental factors. The poor air quality in Iranian cities leads to a wide range of acute and chronic health effects. This study estimates the natural deaths, ALRI, COPD, lung cancer, IHD, and strokes caused by air pollutants in Bukan, a southern city in West Azerbaijan Province, from 2011 to 2019. Population data was obtained from government organizations, and pollutant data for 2011-2019 was collected from the Bukan Environmental Protection Organization. Analyses were performed using Excel, and the data was subsequently entered into the WHO's AirQ+ model to extract the results. The study found that long-term exposure to PM
