Study on the impact of common air pollution indicators on tuberculosis incidence in high-TB-burden countries worldwide.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objective: To explore the effect of air pollution on tuberculosis (TB) in multiple countries and to provide a scientific reference for air pollution treatment and tuberculosis prevention and control. Methods: Spearman's correlation analysis and generalized additive models of air pollution indicators and the annual incidence of tuberculosis in the top 20 countries with global tuberculosis incidence in 2021 were conducted to investigate the association effect between air pollution and tuberculosis incidence globally from 1990 to 2020. Results: The severity of the global TB epidemic in 2021 varied widely among countries, and Spearman's correlation analyses showed a positive correlation between TB incidence and Household air pollution (HAP; r Conclusion: There is a synergistic amplification of the increase in TB incidence by HAP, O
