Consideration of Cardiovascular Morbidities in the Relationship between Ambient Air Pollution Exposure and Individual-Level Adverse COVID-19 Outcomes: A Systematic Review.
Article in Current epidemiology reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 of Review: Studies suggest ambient air pollution increases risk of individual-level adverse COVID-19 outcomes. Our review seeks to understand how air pollution influences adverse COVID-19 outcomes, by identifying how researchers accounted for cardiovascular morbidity, a predominant COVID-19 risk factor that is strongly linked to air pollution exposure. Recent Findings: Our review primarily consisted of retrospective cohorts from the US and Europe, that examined both historical and short-term air pollution. Studies typically found that air pollution was associated with greater risk of individual-level adverse COVID-19 outcomes and adjusted for cardiovascular morbidities as confounders. Few hypothesized cardiovascular morbidity as a mediator or effect modifier in this relationship. Summary: Improved understanding of cardiovascular morbidity's potential role as an effect modifier or mediator can help better explain the link between air pollution and COVID-19, in addition to identifying and assisting populations that may be at greater risk for adverse pandemic outcomes.
