Quantifying the wildfire contribution to PAH concentrations and health effects.
Article in Environmental research letters : ERL [Web site], 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Wildfires are an increasingly important source of toxic air pollutants, including carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), with implications for human health under a changing climate. Here, we quantify the influence of fire events on PAH concentrations, chemistry, and associated incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) using a global three-dimensional chemical transport model. Fires contribute up to 42% of local PAH concentrations in fire-prone regions, including Australia, sub-Saharan Africa, Siberia, and Canada, and account for approximately 4.6% of global total PAH concentrations. Fire emissions also enhance fine particulate matter (PM
