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

objectivesTo investigate the association between periconceptional maternal exposure to air pollution and risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in the highly polluted Delhi National Capital Region (Delhi-NCR).

methodsThis case-control study included 1,556 participants (1,115 cases; 441 controls) from Delhi-NCR. Maternal residential addresses were geocoded to estimate periconceptional exposure (at conception, one month pre- and post-conception) to major air pollutants [PM

resultsSixteen Bonferroni-corrected Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) were observed in the study. Preconception exposure to poor AQI [AOR = 2.54 (1.60-4.04)] and PM

conclusionsTo our knowledge, this first Indian study demonstrates that periconceptional exposures to poor AQI and PM
