Exposure to vehicle traffic in childhood and lung function in young adulthood-a prospective cohort study in an area with low traffic-flows.
Article in Environmental health : a global access science source, 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
backgroundExposure to high levels of vehicle traffic during childhood seems to have a negative effect on lung function. Less is known about the effects of exposure to relatively low levels during childhood. We aimed to study how exposure to vehicle traffic in childhood is associated with lung function and asthma in young adulthood in a 10-year follow-up of a population-based cohort in a municipality with relatively low levels of vehicle traffic.
methodsThe Obstructive Lung Disease in Northern Sweden (OLIN) pediatric cohort II was recruited in 2006 at age 8 years. Exposure to vehicle traffic at baseline was studied in relation to lung function at follow-up at age 19 years (n = 1056 participants). Lung function measures included FEV
resultsIn general, those above the exposure thresholds had lower lung function than those below, but not significantly so in all comparisons. Those exposed to ≥ 250 heavy vehicles/day had lower mean FEV
conclusionsExposure to vehicle traffic in childhood, in a relatively low traffic-flow environment, may be associated with a slightly lower lung function in young adulthood.
