Climate and air pollution are associated with pediatric respiratory hospitalizations in São Paulo, Brazil.

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
Introduction: Environmental and climatic factors have been associated with pediatric respiratory diseases, but these associations may vary across specific clinical outcomes. Methods: We conducted a hospital-based study in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, Brazil, using pediatric emergency department visits and hospitalizations recorded in 2022. Residential addresses were geocoded and individual environmental exposures were estimated through inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation of air pollution and meteorological data. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate associations between environmental factors, seasonality, and two respiratory outcomes: bronchiolitis and unspecified acute respiratory infections. Results: Higher ozone levels, relative humidity, and spring seasonality were significantly associated with greater odds that a respiratory encounter corresponded to hospitalization for bronchiolitis (O Discussion: Environmental and climatic factors showed differential associations with pediatric respiratory diseases. Disaggregating outcomes may improve the identification of disease-specific patterns of association and support targeted public health strategies in urban settings.
