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

In South Korea, residents living near industrial complexes are subject to environmental pollutant exposure not only from large-scale facilities but also from small businesses. This study investigated the environmental and health impacts of such exposure in Gyeonggi-do using atmospheric dispersion modeling and meteorological analysis. Health effects were assessed through cohort analysis using national health big data and SAS Enterprise Guide. The highest average PM₁₀ concentration over a 3-month period was recorded in 2019 (77.54 μg/m
