Short- and long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and greenness in relation to pulmonary tuberculosis incidence.
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 2 papers.
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
Epidemiological studies have found inconsistent relationships between air pollutants and the risk of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), possibly due to variations in exposure windows and limited attention to environmental modifiers such as greenness. However, few studies has systematically examined how short- and long-term exposure to air pollution may differentially impact PTB risk, and how greenness may modify these associations. We utilized comprehensive data, including daily PTB incidence, air pollutants, meteorological data, and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) from Zhejiang Province, China, spanning from 2013 to 2019. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was employed to examine the relationships between air pollution and PTB incidence by county, and a meta-analysis was conducted to aggregate county-specific estimates. In the single-pollutant model, the lag-specific excess risk (ER) of PTB was 0.7% (95% CI 0.05%, 1.4%, 13-week lag) for each 0.1 mg/m
