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

Rapid urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is placing increasing pressure on waste management systems and urban air quality, with significant health implications. This study integrates cross-city analysis of waste systems, air quality, and health burdens in rapidly urbanizing SSA. It examines the links between waste practices, pollution, and health outcomes in fast-growing SSA cities using international and national data sources. Inadequate collection, open dumping and burning, and poorly regulated landfills elevate pollutant concentrations, particularly PM
