Impact of the urban atmospheric environment on otolaryngologic disease outpatient visits in Lanzhou, China.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Lanzhou, an industrial city in northwestern China, is prone to air pollution due to its unique valley basin topography. The incidence of otolaryngologic diseases is closely related to the air quality. Based on air-quality data and outpatient data from an otolaryngology clinic within a hospital in Lanzhou during 2014‒2022, we analyzed the statistical relationships between the concentrations of six common air pollutants and the number of outpatient visits for common otolaryngologic inflammatory diseases using a generalized additive model. We used the results to discuss the potential role of urban airborne pollen in contributing to allergic rhinitis, and we also examined the variability of the relationship between air pollutants and otolaryngologic diseases under anthropogenic interventions using periods before and during the COVID-19 outbreak.
