Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: The manuscript investigates the significant detrimental impact of air pollution, particularly smog, on the mental health of residents in Lahore, Pakistan. Research highlights various ways in which pollutants contribute to mental health issues, including increased risks of depression and anxiety, and direct impacts on cognitive function. Aims: This study aims to establish a link between air quality and its psychological impact on the inhabitants of Lahore. It seeks to advocate for effective interventions to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution on mental health. Methods: This study examined existing literature on the Internet to understand the link between air pollution and mental health. This manuscript aimed to provide a foundation for developing evidence-based solutions within the current healthcare landscape. Results: Searching for "smog," "mental health," and "air pollution" yielded these results, a strong association between increasing levels of air pollution in Lahore and its impact on residents' mental well-being. Despite ongoing efforts to mitigate air pollution, the persistent smog burden in Lahore highlights the need for more effective and decisive interventions to improve air quality and safeguard the population's mental health. Conclusion: This study serves as a preliminary investigation into the intricate relationship between air pollution and mental health. It emphasizes the need for further research to comprehensively understand this critical issue and proper policy implications and potential interventions are required to mitigate the adverse effects of air pollution on mental health.
