Indoor air quality and its impacts on asthma and COPD.
Article in BMJ open respiratory research, 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
backgroundThough indoor air pollution is associated with high mortality and economic impact globally, it is relatively understudied. Knowledge gaps remain regarding exposure to peak pollutant concentrations and their effects, especially among patients with respiratory diseases who are susceptible to a greater impact.
methodsThis 2-week cohort study monitored indoor air quality and symptoms in patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Statistical process control charts were used to track hourly pollutant peaks, while notched box plots visualised significant particulate matter 2.5 (PM
resultsThe analyses included 30 participants. Hourly plots revealed that 43.3% experienced PM
conclusionThe data suggest that human activities significantly influence indoor air quality for PM, indicating that behavioural interventions could help optimise it.
