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

backgroundParticulate matter (PM) exposure affects the neurobehavioral function. However, the link between particulate matter (PM) and aggression remains incompletely elucidated. This study aimed to explore the associations between exposure to varying-sized PM and the risk of aggression in adolescents.

methodsIn the cross-sectional study, a total of 19852 participants, aged 10 to 18 years, were recruited using a multi-stage cluster sampling method from April to December 2021. Ambient PM

resultsAmong the adolescents surveyed, 4995 (25.16%) exhibited aggression. Each 10 µg/m

conclusionsPM mixed exposure was positively associated with aggression, with associations primarily observed for PM
