1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough air pollution has been recognized as a risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), little is known regarding the role of air pollutant exposure, specifically particulate matter (PM), in the dynamic transitions among normal spirometry (lung function), pre-COPD status, and COPD status.

methodsPulmonary function observations from the UK Biobank cohort were categorized as normal spirometry, preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV

resultsWe include 33,217 participants (71,287 visits) and find that each interquartile range increase in exposure of PM

conclusionsFindings reveal that higher levels of PM
