Genetic susceptibility to PM
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM Research question: We sought to determine whether genetic variants contributing to PM Methods: Genes implicated by sPRS variants were mapped using regulatory annotation tools and evaluated for pathway and transcription factor target enrichment. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from high- and low-sPRS children matched on long-term ambient PM Results: sPRS-implicated genes were enriched for transcriptional regulators linked to SMAD2/3- and MAPK-associated signaling, suggesting TGF-β1-related pathway involvement. No genes reached false-discovery-rate-adjusted significance at the donor level in this small, matched cohort. However, secondary pathway-level analyses demonstrated concordant enrichment across multiple immune populations in inflammatory and stress-response signaling programs previously linked to PM Interpretation: These integrative genomic and transcriptomic analyses nominate TGF-β1-SMAD/MAPK signaling as a biologically plausible axis of genetic susceptibility to PM
