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

Background: Tropospheric ozone (O₃) is increasingly becoming the dominant urban air pollutant in China, posing significant public health risks that are exacerbated by meteorological conditions. A clear understanding of how O₃-related health effects are modified by atmospheric factors is crucial for targeted risk mitigation. Methods: This ten-year time-series study (2013-2022) was conducted in Taiyuan, China. We analyzed data on daily O₃ concentrations, meteorological factors, and all-cause and cause-specific mortality. The analysis employed Generalized Additive Models (GAMs) to assess the lagged effects of O₃ exposure on mortality and to investigate the interactions between O₃ and key atmospheric determinants, including temperature, sunshine duration, and season. Results: The study revealed distinct patterns of O₃-related mortality risk modified by meteorological conditions. The 10-year average daily O₃ concentration was 92.92 μg/m Conclusion: Our study provides strong evidence that O
