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

backgroundOutdoor air pollutants have been inconsistently associated with pancreatic cancer incidence and mortality.

objectiveWe investigated associations between outdoor fine particulate matter (PM

methodsWe estimated historical pollutant concentrations at enrollment (1995-1996) residences in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study (N = 486,431). We estimated hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (HR [CI]) for associations (continuous and categorical) with incident pancreatic cancer overall (N = 4999) and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC; N = 4708) in models adjusted for lifestyle and sociodemographic factors.

resultsWe observed small, non-significant associations with pancreatic cancer overall (PM SIGNIFICANCE: Marginal associations between PM IMPACT: This study builds on a small prior literature of associations between air pollution and pancreatic cancer risk. Our analyses in a large U.S.-based cohort revealed small, positive, but non-statistically significant associations between PM
