[Spatial association between air pollutants and diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems in Hamburg].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundNumerous studies have already shown that air pollution can contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. This study investigated spatial differences in air pollution in Hamburg and their associations with respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
methodsThis ecological cross-sectional study included 9787 participants in the Hamburg City Health Study (HCHS) aged 45-74 who took part in the baseline examination between April 2016 and November 2018 and had lived at their current place of residence for at least 10 years. Model data from the Helmholtz Centre Hereon (EPISODE-CiTYCHEM) for 2018 were used to determine the concentrations of O
resultsIncreased particulate matter pollution is particularly evident in the centre of Hamburg, where both major traffic arteries and the port are located. In addition, there is a positive association between particulate matter concentration and diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. DISCUSSION: The results are consistent with previous studies. The mechanisms of action require further research in order to be able to derive specific measures to reduce the risk of disease.
