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

Although a multitude of meta-analyses have indicated an association between air pollution and hypertension (HTN), substantial heterogeneity exists across these studies. This research aims to systematically assess the cumulative evidence on the link between air pollutants and both HTN and gestational hypertension (GH) through existing systematic reviews. A comprehensive literature search was performed in three databases (Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science) up to September 8, 2025. The AMSTAR 2 tool was adopted to evaluate the methodological quality of the included reviews. Totally, 11 eligible meta-analyses (8 on HTN and 3 on GH) were identified. Collectively, the available evidence supports a plausible role of PM
