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

backgroundMortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) exhibits a weekly pattern, with a peak occurring on Mondays. Although several hypotheses have been proposed, the effect of air pollution on this peak has not yet been investigated.

objectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate if daily variation in major air pollutants modifies the risk of AMI mortality on Monday.

methodsA time-series study analyzed 260,320 AMI deaths in Spain from 2004 to 2018, using records from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics. Air pollution (ie, PM

resultsAMI mortality varied throughout the week, peaking on Monday (+3.7% above the weekly average). Particulate air pollution (PM

conclusionsOur results suggest that the excess AMI mortality observed on Mondays in the Spanish population is not explained by concurrent variations in major air pollutants.
