Heterogeneous impact of fine particulate matter constituents on pulmonary tuberculosis onset: a multicenter time series study in Beijing.

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
backgroundEpidemiological studies have implicated exposure to PM₂.₅ in the development of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB); however, the key constituents driving this effect have not been clearly identified.
methodsA time-series analysis spanning 2019 to 2023 was performed across several centers in Beijing to assess the links between major PM
resultsAll five examined components demonstrated significant relationships with an elevated risk of PTB. Associations were not statistically significant on the same day (lag 0) or the next day (lag 1) after exposure. A clear risk increase was detected starting at a 2-day lag, which was no longer observable by lag 3. Per interquartile range (IQR) rise in the 3-day moving average (lag 0-2) of black carbon and organic matter, the relative risks (RRs) for PTB were 1.11 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03, 1.19] and 1.11 (95% CI: 1.03, 1.21), correspondingly. Together, these two components were the dominant drivers of the overall PM₂.₅ effect, contributing 41% and 39% of the joint risk, respectively.
conclusionsThe results yield novel evidence that exposure to certain PM
