Impact of air pollution on life expectancy: the role of digitalization, urbanization and institutional quality in BRICS economies.
Article in Frontiers in 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
Air pollution lowers life expectancy (LEX) by increasing the risk of respiratory, cardiovascular, and other chronic diseases. However, digitalization can help monitor air quality and support public health awareness through real-time data. Institutional quality ensures effective enforcement of environmental regulations and pollution control policies. Together, they help reduce pollution exposure and protect public health. Therefore, the current study aims to analyze the impact of Air pollution on LEX, with the role of urbanization, digitalization, and institutional quality in BRICS economies. This study employs the Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) model, the Fixed Effects estimator, and the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) technique. The findings indicate that CO
