Ambient fine particulate matter and mortality risk among people with disability in Korea based on the National Health Insurance database: a retrospective cohort study.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundPeople with disabilities (PWD) may be more vulnerable to the adverse health effects of air pollution than the general population. This study examined the association between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM
methodsData from the Korean National Health Insurance Service and Statistics Korea were analyzed in this retrospective cohort study, including 2,880,265 individuals (41,501,709 person-years), of which 176,410 were PWD (2,011,231 person-years). PM
resultsPWD, particularly those with severe disabilities or specific impairments such as kidney problems or brain lesions, showed significantly high mortality risks from all causes, non-accidental causes, and cardiovascular diseases due to PM
conclusionsThis study highlights the increased vulnerability of PWD, especially those with severe disabilities or specific impairments, to the adverse effects of PM
