Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter, ozone, and greenness and the risk of lung cancer: a retrospective cohort analysis within a national sample cohort.

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 and objective: Given the rising incidence of lung cancer among never smokers and growing concerns about environmental risk factors, this study investigated the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and greenness and the risk of lung cancer. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis using data from the Korean National Sample Cohort (2002-2019), including 7,155 lung cancer patients and 28,620 propensity score-matched controls (matched by age, sex, and enrollment year). Long-term exposure to air pollution (quantified by PM Results: Among 35,775 participants, lung cancer patients had lower BMI, higher smoking exposure, lower household income, and higher comorbidity scores than controls. PM Conclusion: Long-term exposure to air pollution, particularly O₃, was significantly associated with an increased risk of lung cancer, independent of other confounders. In contrast, PM
