Estimating the risk of anemia associated with PM
Article in Communications medicine, 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
backgroundAlthough evidence links particulate matter exposure to anemia, research focused on women remains scarce. This study investigates the risk of anemia associated with PM
methodsThis study used nationally representative data from the 2022 Nepal Demographic and Health Survey, including a sample of 4133 women of reproductive age. Anemia was defined according to WHO guidelines (blood hemoglobin levels <12 g/dl for non-pregnant women and <11 g/dl for pregnant women), and mean PM
resultsHere we show that higher PM
conclusionsThis study provides substantial evidence linking air pollution to anemia in women of reproductive age, underscoring the urgent need for targeted health interventions and stricter air quality regulations in low-resource settings.
