Correlation between questionnaire on air pollution-related factors and chronic respiratory diseases: a case study of Minhang District, Shanghai.
Article in BMC public health, 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
backgroundAir pollution seriously threatens residents' respiratory health, the objective of this study is to explore the relationship between air pollution-related factors and chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs), analyze the association between air pollution-related factors and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) prevalence, and evaluate the current status of residents' awareness of air pollution through questionnaire analysis.
methodsA cross-sectional was conducted in Minhang District, Shanghai. Personal information, air pollution-related risk factors, and residents' cognitive level were collected through questionnaire investigations. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, univariate and multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) were used.
resultsThe questionnaire was completed by 3136 respondents. The prevalence of CRDs was 24.6% and COPD was 12.1%. Among the air pollution-related variables, exposure to dust or fumes at work, used to cook with firewood or coal, frequent home cooking, and living proximity to industrial areas or other pollution sources were significantly associated with CRDs. The area under the curves (AUC) of COPD was 0.821 for assessing the prevalence of COPD with basic variables combined with air pollution-related variables. In terms of air pollution cognition, CRDs patients were generally lower than no-CRDs.
conclusionAir pollution-related factors are significantly related to the prevalence of CRDs, considering the significant harm of air pollution to COPD, it is recommended to add air pollution-related factors to the screening questionnaire of COPD to improve the screening accuracy. In addition, residents' cognition levels of air pollution are associated with CRDs prevalence.
