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
backgroundThe association between air pressure and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has not been assessed at individual level, and the effect of air pressure change between neighboring days (APCN) on AMI onset is unknown. This study aimed to examine the associations of daily air pressure and APCN with the onset of AMI.
methodsA time-stratified case-crossover study was conducted using data from 473 599 patients with AMI recorded in the Beijing Cardiovascular Disease Surveillance System between 2007 and 2021. The associations between daily air pressure and APCN with AMI onset were assessed using conditional logistic regression and distributed lag-nonlinear models.
resultsBoth low and high air pressure were significantly associated with an increased risk of AMI, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.06 (95% CI, 1.01-1.12) and 1.16 (95% CI, 1.11-1.20), respectively. Patients with comorbidities of heart failure and hypertension exhibited increased vulnerability to extremely high air pressure. Moreover, the effects of both extremely low and high air pressure were amplified on days with higher levels of particulate matter <2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter and temperature. A negative APCN was associated with an elevated risk of AMI, with an OR of 1.19 (95% CI, 1.12-1.25) for an extremely negative APCN (-9.74 hPa) compared with no change in air pressure. Negative APCN risk was notably higher in older adults, women, and individuals with hypertension or diabetes.
conclusionsExtreme air pressure and its acute drop between neighboring days are associated with increased AMI onset risk, highlighting the need for enhanced attention in predicting or preventing environment-attributed cardiovascular risk.
