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

introductionChina launched ambitious air pollution regulations in 2013 that have resulted in substantial reductions in concentrations of particulate matter with aerodynamic diameters of 2.5 micrometers or less (PM

methodsWe used both observations and model outputs to characterize observed and counterfactual spatiotemporal trends in air quality from 2008 to 2019 across China. We characterized observed PM

resultsFrom 2013 to 2019, we estimate there was a ~45% reduction in PM

conclusionsThe scope of air pollution regulations and resulting PM
