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

backgroundThe impact of ambient air pollutants on gynecological infections, particularly vaginitis, has been minimally explored.

methodData were collected from a heavily polluted city in Central China from 2015 to 2017. We employed a Poisson generalized additive model (GAM) to evaluate the impacts of air pollutants on vaginitis hospitalizations. Effect modifications by age and season were further assessed via stratified analyses. Additionally, attributable fractions (AFs) and numbers (ANs) of hospitalizations due to air pollutant exceedances were calculated to further estimate the disease burden.

resultsA total of 13,828 hospitalizations for vaginitis were recorded. In general, the concentrations of PM
