Outdoor air pollution and hospitalizations for ischemic heart disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the association between six major outdoor air pollutants (i.e., PM Methods: Using the PubMed and Web of Science databases (up to March 2025), the present meta-analysis screened and included 17 high-quality studies (three cohort studies (CS), one case-control study (CC), and 13 time-series studies (TS)) covering 28,186,905 cases hospitalized for IHD. This study focused on the determination of the impact of air pollutant concentration changes on the risk of IHD-attributable hospitalization using statistical analysis in Stata 16.0. In addition, sensitivity analyses and funnel plots were employed to assess stability and publication bias. Results: The meta-analysis revealed the following associations between the air pollutants and IHD-attributable hospitalization: PM Conclusion: High concentrations of air pollutants may significantly contribute to an increased risk of IHD-attributable hospitalization. The present study identifies air pollution as a major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor that should be integrated into clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) management and public health policy formulation.
