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

Coal-fired power plant emissions have been associated with exacerbation of respiratory conditions and mortality, and unconventional natural gas development (UNGD) sites have gained attention as potential sources of soil contamination and air and water pollution. Growing evidence links environmental exposures, particularly air pollution, to the development and exacerbation of childhood asthma. Recent studies show that environmental exposures alter miRNA transcription, supporting their use as biomarkers of childhood asthma risk and pathogenesis. We collected saliva from 12 children with asthma and 41 age-matched controls without asthma in Pennsylvania. We estimated residential exposure to coal-fired PM
