1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Studies have shown how air pollution and temperature affect blood pressure. We investigated the combined effect of air pollution and temperature on blood pressure in a cohort of older German women. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) data from follow-up 3 (2012-2013) of the Study on the influence of Air pollution on lung function inflammation and ageing (SALIA) cohort. Short-term data on daily air pollutants and temperature were obtained from the German Weather Bureau and the German Environment Agency. A generalized additive model was used to capture their combined effect. Stratified analyses were performed to quantify the variation in the estimated effects. The core model was adjusted for potential covariates. We observed a combined association of temperature and air pollution with blood pressure. We found that lower temperatures and higher levels of air pollutants such as PM
