Impact of air pollution on lung function in cystic fibrosis over a decade in London: a UK CF Registry study.
Article in Thorax, 2026. 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
objectiveDespite extensive research on the detrimental effects of air pollution on respiratory diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the impact on people with cystic fibrosis (CF) remains understudied. Our study aimed to quantify the association between air pollution exposure and lung function decline in people with CF in London, UK.
methodsUsing 10 years (2008-2017) of UK Cystic Fibrosis Registry data, we conducted a longitudinal cohort study to evaluate the association between air pollution and the rate of decline in percent predicted forced expiratory volume in 1 second (ppFEV
resultsWe used 3333 ppFEV
conclusionsThis study provides novel evidence of the detrimental impact of air pollution on lung function in people with CF. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing air pollution as a modifiable risk factor to improve long-term outcomes of people with CF, and the need for national studies of the impact of environmental factors on CF in the UK.
