The effect of recurrent mobility on air pollution exposure and mortality burden in Catalonia.
Article in International journal of health geographics, 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
backgroundAir pollution exposure is a leading health risk mainly due to its detrimental respiratory and cardiovascular effects. Ambient air quality varies greatly across time and space, most anthropogenic pollutants being higher in cities than rural areas. Residents of rural areas who commute to cities for work are also exposed to the air pollution there. Therefore, exposure assessments that neglect population mobility produce biased estimates.
methodsIn this study, we quantify the effect of recurrent mobility on long-term air pollution exposure and its attributable mortality for the pollutants NO
resultsConsidering the four pollutants, between 75.9% and 86.3% of the districts present significant effects of mobility on exposure. Rural areas surrounding cities display increased exposures to NO
conclusionsOur work evidences the impact of cities on the air pollution exposure of people living far away from them, made possible by recurrent mobility. Our results show that correcting exposure profiles by mobility might not have a large impact at the population level when inter-area mobility is relatively low, but can be very significant for individuals and population segments with specific mobility habits, and as such should be taken into account for the design of public health policies.
