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

Climate change is intensifying wildfire frequency and severity across North America, degrading air quality in urban areas far from fire sources. While the direct health effects of wildfire smoke are well-documented, associations with educational outcomes remain poorly characterized. We conducted a time-stratified case-crossover study linking 2.11 million school-days from 1,443 New York City (NYC) public elementary, middle, and high schools over the 2011-2012 to 2018-2019 academic years with tract-level wildfire smoke fine particulate matter (PM
