Prenatal greenness exposure and the decreased risk of low birthweight and small for gestational age: modification and mediation effects of air pollution.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundDespite accumulating evidence linking greenness with the decreased risk of low birthweight (LBW), the potential modification and mediation effects of ambient air pollution remain unstudied.
methodsWe conducted a nationwide birth cohort analysis using nearly 3.9 million registry-based mother-infant records across 31 provinces in Iran during 2013-2018. Greenness exposure during pregnancy was assessed utilizing the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) within multiple buffers (500-3000 m). Logistic regression model was used to analyze the associations of maternal greenness exposure with LBW and small for gestational age (SGA). Modification effects of PM
resultsWe observed consistently lower LBW and SGA risks in relation to greater greenness within buffers of 500-3000 m. Each 0.1-unit rise of NDVI within the 3000-m buffer (NDVI-
conclusionsThis study provided national evidence for greater health benefits of greenness in alleviating LBW and SGA risks among pregnant women being exposed to higher PM
