Impact of Air Pollution in Modifying the Relationship Between Climatic Variables and Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease: A Multi-City Time Series Study in Jiangsu Province, China.

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
Previous research has primarily focused on the impact of climatic variables and air pollution on Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease (HFMD). However, there remains limited understanding of how air pollution levels modify these relationships across different regions and populations. This study employed a two-stage, multi-city time-series analysis using data from 13 cities in Jiangsu Province (2015-2023) to explore these effects. A multistage analytical approach, including the distributed lag non-linear model, multivariate meta-regression, and attributable risk calculation, was used to quantify the association between climatic variables, air pollutants, and HFMD. Findings indicated that HFMD incidence is closely associated with meteorological conditions, with peak risk at 24.8°C for average temperature and 89.2% for average relative humidity. Low average wind speed and short sunshine hours (SH) also contributed to increased risk. Air pollutants, such as PM
