The impact of air pollutants on the risk of goiter based on a 9-year time series data.

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
Background: With the rapid advancement of industrialization and urbanization, air pollution is becoming increasingly serious, posing a huge threat to human health. There is limited literatures to study the relationship between air pollution and thyroid diseases. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the association between air pollutions (PM Methods: A 9-year time series data was collected from the Luoyang Air Testing Website from 2014 to 2022. A generalized additive model (GAM) based on Poisson regression was established and stratification analysis were used to explore the differences in the population by gender, age, place of residence, and season. Results: There were 37,630 hospital admissions for goiter in Luoyang from January 1, 2014 to July 30, 2022. Among them, there are 29,571 female (78.58%) and 8,059 male (21.42%); There are different lag effects of air pollutants on the thyroid goiter, and the relative risk (RR) of thyroid goiter showed a non-linear increasing trend with the increase of pollutants concentration on the optimal lag day. A 10 μg/m Conclusions: This time-series study suggested that long-term exposure to air pollutions may be associated with an increased risk of thyroid diseases, especially NO
