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

aimsWe assessed the association between air pollution from pregnancy (in utero) to 18 years and cardiovascular health markers in early adulthood.

methodsData from 3,767 individuals from a UK birth cohort were used. We explored the associations between modelled fine particulate matter (PM

resultsHigher average levels of PM

conclusionsHigher lifetime exposure to air pollution up to 18 years was associated with markers of poorer cardiovascular health in early adulthood.
