Neighborhood environmental vulnerability factors strongly drove COVID-19 fatality and excess all-cause mortality in New York City, while long-term air pollutant associations were weak and varied.

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

purposeWe evaluated associations among long-term air pollution exposure, neighborhood-level social and structural drivers of environmental vulnerability, and COVID-19 death during the first pandemic year in New York City (NYC).

methodsWe triangulated findings across statistical approaches susceptible to different biases: a hospital-based COVID-19 fatality analysis using Cox proportional hazard models and two ZIP code-level, city-wide excess all-cause mortality analyses using periodic and linear regression models. We estimated chronic fine particulate matter (PM
