Long-term exposure to wildfire-related PM
Article in The Lancet. Oncology, 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
backgroundFine particulate matter (PM
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included patients aged 65 years or older with histologically confirmed primary small-cell lung cancer or non-small-cell lung cancer (as defined by the International Classification of Diseases for Oncology, Third Edition) from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database between Jan 1, 2006, and Dec 31, 2019, for whom residential zip code-based estimates of wildfire-related PM
findingsBetween Jan 1, 2008, and Dec 31, 2019 (the analysis period), 414 016 patients with lung cancer contributed 1 211 490 person-years of follow-up, with a median follow-up of 2 years (IQR 1-4). Of these, 208 468 (50·4%) patients were female, 205 548 (49·6%) were male, 356 356 (86·1%) were White, 36 914 (8·9%) were Black, 18 982 (4·6%) were Asian or Pacific Islander, and 1269 (0·3%) were American Indian or Alaska Native; race or ethnicity was unknown for 495 patients (0·1%).
