A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis on Long-Term Exposure to Particulate Matter and All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in the Asia-Pacific States.

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
backgroundGlobal Burden of Disease (GBD) studies have proposed integrated exposure-response models primarily based on North American and European data, which may not be directly applicable to the Asia-Pacific region. Through a systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to explore the association between long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and mortality in the Asia-Pacific states.
methodsWe searched 3 databases (PubMed [n = 8,326], Embase [n = 4,709], and Cochrane Library [n = 357]) between 1st January 1990 and 31st July 2023. Our search focused on studies examining the associations between long-term exposure to PM with an aerodynamic diameter < 2.5 μm (PM
resultsWe identified 71 articles investigating the association between long-term exposure to PM and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. For a 10 μg/m³ increase in PM
conclusionOur analysis revealed positive associations between long-term exposure to PM and all-cause and cause-specific mortality for CVD, IHD, stroke, and lung cancer in the Asia-Pacific states.
