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

This study presents a framework to identify feasible urban emission control strategies, using observed changes in air pollutants and economic activities during the Mexico City COVID-19 lockdown. The novelty of our framework lies in integrating an anomaly-based observational approach with economic activity indicators and a health impact assessment (HIA) to propose potential non-lockdown emission control strategies. Unlike descriptive existing studies, our approach explicitly links short-term air quality anomalies to sectoral activity changes, allowing for the inference of likely source categories contributing to observed pollutant reductions and the translation of these findings into targeted, economically feasible policy recommendations. The framework integrates a HIA to evaluate targeted restrictions on traffic, industrial activity, and other economic sectors. NO
