Study on the impact of air pollutants on childhood asthma in Nanjing based on a distributed lag non-linear model.

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: Asthma, a chronic respiratory disease, is a significant public health concern globally. Air pollution has been identified as one of the key risk factors exacerbating respiratory conditions, particularly in children. Previous studies have shown a correlation between air pollution levels and asthma visits. However, the impact of air pollutants on childhood asthma visits stratified by gender, age and season remains a topic of interest, and further investigation is necessary to comprehend this complex relationship. Objective: This study aimed to explore the association between air pollution and childhood asthma visits in Nanjing from 2013 to 2021. It focused on the effects of various pollutants, including PM Methods: Data on childhood asthma visits and concentrations of air pollutants were collected and analyzed. The lag effects of pollutants on asthma visits were assessed, and the impacts were stratified by gender, age group (0-5 years, 6-11 years, and over 11 years), and season. Statistical methods were used to identify significant correlations and the timing of maximum effects of pollutants. Results: A positive correlation was found between childhood asthma visits and concentrations of AQI, PM Conclusion: The findings indicate a substantial effect of air pollutants, particularly PM
