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

Background: Although short-term exposure to air pollutants has been linked to heightened hospital admissions for respiratory diseases (RDs), evidence regarding its association with the risk of mortality from such diseases remains scarce. We aimed to examine the impact of short-term exposure to air pollutants on RD-related mortality. Methods: We employed a time-stratified case-crossover design to explore the impact of short-term exposure to various air pollutants (fine particulate matter (PM Results: We found that every 10 μg/m3 increase in PM Conclusions: Our findings indicate that short-term exposure to air pollutants, excluding SO
