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

Background: Cognitive disorders (CDs) are a major public health concern in ageing societies. The association between air pollution and CDs has received considerable attention; however, the moderating role of lifestyle remains unclear. We aimed to explore the complex associations among lifestyle, its dynamic changes, ambient air pollution exposure, and CDs in older adults. Methods: We included data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study. We used Cox proportional hazards models, Bayesian weighted quantile sum models, and mediation analysis to explore associations between lifestyle, air pollution, and CDs risk. Results: Per 10 μg/m Conclusions: Air pollution increased the risk of CDs among older adults, which was partially offset by a healthy lifestyle. Lifestyle interventions may help address some challenges inherent in controlling air pollution in ageing societies.
