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

Objective: Particulate matter (PM) with diameter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM Data sources: A search was conducted on Ovid Medline, Embase and Scopus, spanning across 1 January 2012 to 30 July 2022. Primary quantitative studies exploring the effect of PM Findings: A total 275 studies were obtained, and 80 studies were analysed with diseases ranging from ICD-10 I00-I99. For CVD morbidity, increased PM Conclusion: Air pollution including bushfire smoke is associated with increased CVD morbidity and mortality. This effect ranges across different types, durations, and levels of air pollution exposure, making stringent climate change and air pollution mitigation strategies imperative.
