A Scoping Review of Trends in Atmospheric Pollution Research in Uganda (1990-2025).
Review in Toxics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Air pollution is an emerging environmental and public health concern in Uganda; however, the evolution of atmospheric pollution research in the country has not been comprehensively synthesized. This study presents a scoping review of peer-reviewed literature published between 1990 and 2025, examining the temporal trends in research output, key pollutants investigated, the study environments and research methodological approaches. A structured literature search was conducted across three academic databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science, and PubMed) and eligible studies were screened and analysed using a standardized data extraction framework. The results reveal highly uneven growth in research output, with minimal activity prior to 2010, followed by rapid expansion after 2015 and a pronounced surge between 2020 and 2025.
