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

For more than 50 years, the Nordic countries have together played a significant role in Europe in raising awareness, scientific understanding and policy development for the control of acid rain and related air pollution problems. The Nordic cooperation has most of the time been organised by the Nordic Council of Ministers. It began within OECD in 1969 and was followed by the establishment of the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) under UNECE and the Convention for Long-Range Transport of Air Pollutants (the Air Convention), signed in 1979. This paper examines Nordic collaboration across three distinct phases: 1970-1980, 1985-2000 and post-2000. We analyse the defining characteristics of each period and their varying influences on international policy development in Europe, initially focusing on the Air Convention and later extending to the European Union. Finally, we explore potential pathways for maintaining an influential international role of the Nordic countries in advancing air pollution control when climate change, energy transition, increased security uncertainties and the AI revolution pose significant challenges and opportunities for air pollution management and control.
