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

backgroundFine particulate matter, defined as particles <2.5 μm in diameter (PM

objectivesThis study sought to evaluate the association between long-term exposure to wildfire smoke PM

methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed data from Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries between 2007 and 2018. We linked individuals to high-resolution exposure estimates of fire smoke and nonfire smoke PM

resultsThe cohort included approximately 22 million fee-for-service enrollees, with a follow-up totaling 115 million person-years. The mean smoke PM

conclusionsIn this national cohort, long-term exposure to fire smoke-related PM
