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

backgroundReversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is characterized by thunderclap headaches and transient cerebral vasoconstriction. The influence of environmental factors, particularly air pollution and weather conditions, on RCVS remains poorly understood.

methodsFrom 2010 to 2022, clinical data from two hospitals were analyzed alongside air pollution and meteorological data provided by Air Pays de la Loire and Météo-France. A time-stratified case-crossover design was used to evaluate the association between RCVS onset and daily mean concentrations of O

resultsA total of 216 patients were included (mean age: 39.9 years; SD: 12.3; sex ratio: 1:1). In the three days preceding RCVS onset, only PM

conclusionThis study suggests a short-term decrease in PM
