Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and lipid profiles: a longitudinal study in a heavily industrialized region of northern China.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Background: Dyslipidemia is an important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and growing evidence suggests that long-term ambient air pollution exposure may adversely affect lipid metabolism. However, longitudinal evidence from heavily industrialized regions with complex multipollutant exposure remains limited. Methods: We conducted a repeated-measures study of 9,040 adults with 19,113 lipid measurements from a health-screening program in Shanxi Province, China, between October 2019 and September 2023. Three-year average exposures to PM Results: Higher long-term exposure to PM Conclusion: Long-term ambient air pollution exposure was associated with adverse lipid profiles and may be related to higher odds of dyslipidemia among adults in a heavily industrialized region of northern China. These findings suggest that ambient air pollution may be an important environmental factor associated with lipid metabolism and highlight the need to consider long-term multipollutant exposure in cardiometabolic health research and prevention strategies.
