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

Background: Ambient air pollution has been linked to adverse birth outcomes, but the role of industrial emissions remains understudied. We examined the association between maternal exposure to industrial air pollutants during pregnancy and the risk of preterm birth (PTB) and small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 1,199,516 singleton live births in Quebec, Canada, from 2002 to 2016. Exposure to PM Results: The cohort comprised 71,699 PTB and 105,894 SGA cases. Compared with unexposed participants, exposure to industrial air pollutants during pregnancy increased the risk of extreme and very PTB and SGA. For extreme PTB, adjusted ORs (95% CI) comparing exposed with unexposed were 1.08 (1.00, 1.17) for PM Conclusion: Exposure to industrial air emissions during pregnancy may increase the risk of extreme and very PTB and SGA, especially among women with preeclampsia.
