Interactive and joint effects of multiple meteorological and air pollution exposures on hand, foot and mouth disease risk in western China: a time-series analysis.
Article in BMJ public health, 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
Introduction: Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is influenced by meteorological and air pollution factors. However, few studies have evaluated their joint and interactive effects under real-world multi-exposure conditions. This study examined the health impacts of environmental mixtures and identified susceptible populations in western China. Methods: A total of 484 928 HFMD cases in children under 6 years old were collected from western China. Bayesian kernel machine regression was used to estimate the effects of simultaneous exposure to temperature, precipitation, shortwave radiation, pressure, fine particulate matter (PM Results: Temperature, precipitation, shortwave radiation, PM Conclusion: This study enhanced understanding of the joint and interactive effects of meteorological and air pollution factors on HFMD risk under real-world conditions and identified vulnerable subgroups, supporting future research and targeted prevention efforts.
