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

Air quality significantly impacts public health, industrial stability, and timely responses to environmental hazards, all of which are essential for sustainable development. Accurate forecasting of the Air Quality Index (AQI) is therefore crucial for effective environmental monitoring and management. In this study, we develop a hybrid deep learning model that integrates a Transformer encoder with a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) network. The model is trained and validated using daily air quality data collected from Shijiazhuang, Beijing and Tianjin, spanning November 2013 to February 2025. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed Transformer-BiLSTM model delivers stable and reliable predictive performance, with root mean squared error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of 3.0012 ug/m[Formula: see text], 1.7928 ug/m[Formula: see text], and 3.3646%, respectively. Compared with conventional baseline models, the hybrid model improves accuracy and generalization capability. This approach offers a reliable and interpretable tool for AQI forecasting and provides quantitative support for data-driven air pollution control strategies.
