Wildfire-Related Air Pollution and Infectious Diseases: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in ACS environmental Au, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Amid the global rise in wildfire events, the health impacts of wildfire-related air pollution are increasingly scrutinized. While numerous reviews have examined the link between air pollution and infectious diseases, reviews specifically focusing on wildfire-related air pollution and infectious diseases remain scarce. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive search in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Scopus and Web of Science databases up to December 31, 2023, using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Search terms included synonyms of wildfire and infectious diseases. Peer-reviewed epidemiological studies that reported any association or trend between wildfire air pollution and infectious diseases were selected against eligibility criteria. Risk of bias and quality of included studies were assessed using modified risk of bias and quality assessment tools. Our review included 30 studies, predominantly from developed countries including the United States (USA), Australia, and Canada. Most focused on respiratory infectious diseases (
