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

backgroundAir pollution is associated with asthma mortality and hospital admissions, yet few studies have focused on exacerbations managed in the community or which subgroups of asthma patients are most vulnerable. Identifying these groups is crucial for targeted public health interventions and clinical guidance.

methodsWe developed Poisson generalised regression models examining associations between short-term exposure to air pollutants (NO

resultsFor every interquartile range (IQR) increase in the preceding week's average exposure, the risk of OCS prescription increased by 5% for NO

conclusionShort-term exposure to NO
