Solid fuel use and heart disease in middle-aged and older Chinese populations: a prospective cohort study.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 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
backgroundSolid fuel use for cooking and heating is a major environmental risk factor, yet its association with new-onset heart disease (HD) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between solid fuel exposure and new-onset HD in a large cohort.
methodsMultivariable logistic regression models assessed associations between cooking/heating fuel types (coal, crop residue/wood, liquefied petroleum gas, natural gas, and others) and new-onset HD. Subgroup analyses explored effect modification by age, sex, education, smoking, alcohol use, and region.
resultsA prospective cohort study included 5915 participants, with 781 participants (13.2%) developing new-onset HD. Coal use for cooking showed an initial association with new-onset HD risk (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.06-1.86,
conclusionsSolid fuel use, particularly coal for heating, is associated with increased new-onset HD risk. Reducing solid fuel exposure is crucial for HD prevention in low-resource settings.
