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.
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
backgroundThe relationship between prenatal exposure to low-level air pollution and child autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is unclear.
objectiveTo examine associations of prenatal air pollution exposure with autism.
methodsWe analyzed data from 8,035 mother-child pairs from 44 United States cohorts in the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort. Fine particulate matter (PM
resultsAverage (SD) pregnancy exposures were 9.3 μg/m DISCUSSION: Associations with ASD outcomes were present even at low levels of air pollutants.
