Epidemiological Evidence That Air Pollutants May Accelerate or Delay Breast Cancer Mortality: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in International journal of women's health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To explore the effects of long-term exposure to air pollutants on risk of death and survival time of breast cancer patients. Methods: We retrospectively collected data of 4,438 primary breast cancer patients treated at the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University between January 1, 2014, and May 31, 2023. We analyzed the effects of single and multiple pollutants on mortality risk using both univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models. Meanwhile, we employed the Cox model to investigate the interaction between pairs of air pollutants. Then, an accelerated failure time (AFT) model was used to quantify the effects of air pollutants on the survival time of breast cancer patients, quantifying whether they accelerate or delay survival. Results: The multivariate Cox model revealed that the highest quartile (Q Conclusion: Air pollution collectively impacts breast cancer mortality, with complex pollutant interactions modulating risk. This highlights the need for holistic environmental health strategies.
