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

The Mon Valley near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, consistently reports some of the poorest air quality in the United States. Recent studies have linked air pollution in this region to poor asthma outcomes but did not examine the impact on other respiratory conditions or vulnerable populations. This retrospective study examined the relationship between the air quality index (AQI) and respiratory exacerbations of asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Mon Valley between January 2018 and February 2020. We linked daily Air Quality Index (AQI) values for ozone, PM
