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

Introduction: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) has never been characterized in Kazakhstan, and risk factors for this condition remain poorly described. Given that smoking was associated with PRISm, other sources of air pollution, including occupational exposures, surprisingly remained outside the scope of many studies. We, therefore, aimed to compute the prevalence and test the association of exposure to airborne pollutants in the workplace with PRISm in a cross-sectional study. Methods: Subjects ( Results: PRISm was confirmed in 12% of participants (95% confidence interval (CI) 10.7; 13.3), with a higher prevalence observed in women (14, 95% CI 11.7; 15.6) compared to men (10, 95% CI 8.8; 12.2). Occupational airborne exposures, including vapor, gas, dust and fume (VGDF), were not associated with PRISm, either as ever-exposure or as cumulative exposure in years. Body mass index [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.05 (95% CI 1.02; 1.07)] and the Charlson comorbidity index [adjusted OR 1.28 (95% CI 1.07; 1.54)] were significantly associated with the outcome, after adjusting for sex, smoking, regular exercise, age, and VGDF exposure. Conclusion: In the current study, occupational airborne chemical exposures, classified using a JEM, showed a non-significant association with PRISm. However, further research with larger sample sizes is needed.
