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

Introduction: Limited evidence exists on the links between ambient air pollution and fractures. This study aimed to investigate the association between short-term exposure to criteria air pollutants and hospital admissions for fractures. Methods: We collected daily data on six criteria air pollutants and fracture admissions from Beijing Jishuitan Hospital between June 2021 and May 2023. Generalized additive models (GAM) with quasi-Poisson regression were applied to quantify the effects of air pollutants on admissions. Results: We identified 16,532 records on fracture admissions. At the lag03 day, an increase of 1 μg/m Discussion: This study suggests that short-term exposure to air pollution, with observed cumulative lag effects, may increase the risk of fracture-related hospitalizations. These findings highlight the potential role of air pollutants as an environmental risk factor for fractures.
