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

backgroundThe associations between short-term exposure to air pollution and severe mental disorders (SMDs) remain poorly understood, particularly in China and among potentially vulnerable subpopulations.

methodsWe conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study of 49,707 individuals diagnosed with SMDs in Gansu Province, China, from 2013 to 2020. Individual-level exposures to particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM

resultsEach interquartile range increase in exposure to PM

conclusionsShort-term exposure to multiple air pollutants is positively associated with SMDs onset, with differential vulnerability across population subgroups. These results suggest that air pollution may represent an important modifiable environmental risk factor for SMDs, particularly in regions with elevated pollution levels.
