Exposure to Airborne Particulate Matter in Regional Environments of Bangladesh and Its Effects on Respiratory Health: A Narrative Review.
Article in Health science reports, 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
Background: Air pollution represents a critical public health crisis in Bangladesh, driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and widespread emissions from brick kilns, traffic, and biomass burning. Elevated levels of fine particulate matter and toxic gases across both urban and rural regions contributes to significant reductions in life expectancy and escalating respiratory disease burdens. Therefore, the present review aims to examine the role of fine/ultrafine particulate matter and hazardous gases in respiratory health outcomes among the Bangladeshi population to synthesize evidence that can inform public health policy. Methods: We included 42 studies to obtain data related to the fine/ultrafine particulate matter and hazardous gases and their impact on respiratory health in Bangladesh from scientific databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Directory of Open Access Journals, Web of Science, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library between 2013 and 2025 (last 12 years). Results: Findings indicated that PM Conclusion: The findings of the present review indicates that the urgent regulatory enforcement, enhanced air quality monitoring, and targeted public health interventions are essential to mitigate respiratory health risks and reduce the nationwide burden of air pollution in Bangladesh. Furthermore, comprehensive geological and environmental monitoring studies are required across all districts to fully characterize exposure and guide effective public health interventions.
