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

The impact of environmental pollution on health is a hot topic in current research; however, research on the association between ambient air pollution and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the rural elderly population is limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between long-term ambient air pollution and HRQoL. A total of 4349 participants were included in this study. Ambient air pollution data were collected from the National Earth System Science Data Center. The European Quality of Life Five Dimension Three Level (EQ-5D-3L) was used to measure the health utility index to reflect the HRQoL of the population. A Tobit regression model was constructed to analyze the association between ambient air pollution and the health utility index, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) and logistic regression were further used to explore the impact pathways of ambient air pollution on health utility. The average health utility index for the entire sample was 0.93, and the pain/discomfort dimension was the most commonly reported problem among respondents, with a ratio of 34.24%. The Tobit regression results revealed that for each 1 µg/m
