Air pollution exposure and the burden of pediatric upper respiratory tract infections in emergency departments: a retrospective time-series study.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Upper respiratory tract infections (URTI) are a major public health problem and a leading cause of pediatric Emergency Department (ED) visits. Approximately 81% of emergency outpatient visits in children are due to URTI, and respiratory diseases account for 12% of all deaths worldwide. Air pollution is considered an important factor contributing to the increased incidence of respiratory infections. The aim of this study was to examine the association between ambient air pollutant concentrations and the number of pediatric ED admissions for URTI. We conducted a retrospective analysis including 2,572 children admitted to the ED between 2015 and 2020 with a diagnosis of URTI. Daily concentrations of particulate matter (PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NO
