Identifying Critical Windows and Joint Effects of Prenatal Air Pollution and Temperature Exposure and Lung Function in Schoolchildren: Findings From a Prospective Birth Cohort Study.
Article in Chest, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundAir pollution and extreme temperature exposure during pregnancy is associated with lung function in schoolchildren. RESEARCH QUESTION: What are the critical time windows during pregnancy when exposure to air pollution (fine particulate matter [PM STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsWithin the Programming Research in Obesity, Growth, Environment, and Social Stressors study, daily residential levels of pollutant/temperature exposures during pregnancy were generated from satellite-based models. Lung function was evaluated at ages 8 to 14 years and was modeled as z scores adjusted for age, height, and sex. We used distributed lag nonlinear models to evaluate overall and sex-specific associations of exposures with lung function outcomes. Interactive effects were evaluated through the relative excess risk due to interaction and the attributable proportion.
resultsA total of 429 mother-child dyads were included. Prenatal higher PM
interpretationOur findings emphasize detrimental effects of early-life air pollution exposure on long-term respiratory health and suggest potential sex-specific vulnerabilities, informing targeted interventions to protect child health.
