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

Although addressing environmental pollution and unprecedented societal aging are concurrent public health challenges, rarely is the relationship between the two considered. Current approaches to valuing the public health benefits conferred by environmental policy may be ill-suited to aging populations. We describe the limitations of the age-invariant approach used by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to estimate the public health benefits corresponding to environmental regulation. These include the poor age-representativeness of the samples informing the valuation of mortality risk reduction, the exclusion of age-related outcomes from valuation, and the omission of age-related third-party expenditures. We offer an empirical framework that could address these limitations. Our recommendations could improve the calibration of environmental regulatory analysis to the changing age distribution of the United States population.
