Air pollution from livestock farms and lung function decline in neighboring residents over 7 years.

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: Longitudinal studies investigating air pollution from livestock farms and respiratory health effects in neighboring residents are lacking. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between residential livestock farm exposures and lung function decline over a 7-year period in people living in livestock-dense rural areas in the Netherlands. Methods: Spirometry was performed in 2014/2015 and 2021/2022 for 847 adults (28-80 years of age at follow-up). We analyzed the annual rate of change in forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Results: No associations were identified between residential exposure to livestock-related endotoxin or PM Conclusion: Our longitudinal study did not find evidence for a relationship between air pollution from livestock farms and lung function decline in neighboring residents. Longitudinal studies with a greater number of observations across the life course are needed to gain deeper insights into lung function trajectories and to assess the impact of livestock-related air pollution in rural populations.
