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

backgroundWith the global rise in the aging population, ensuring safe mobility for older adults is an urgent public health concern. In Taiwan, scooters are widely used by older individuals, yet the impact of air pollution, particularly fine particulate matter (PM

methodsWe conducted a nationwide time-series analysis using Taiwan's Police-Reported Traffic Accident Registry and air quality monitoring data from 2023. The study included 58,181 scooter riders aged ≥ 65 years involved in collisions. Daily PM

resultsWe found that 159 older adults were involved in scooter collisions per day on average, with a mean PM

conclusionsThese findings suggest that prolonged exposure to elevated PM
