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

backgroundThe epidemiological evidence regarding the correlation between air pollution, residential greenspace, and the risk of kidney stone disease (KSD) is limited, with no large-scale prospective studies conducted on this relationship.

objectiveWe conducted a large-scale prospective study from the UK Biobank to explore the correlation between air pollution, residential greenspace, and the risk of KSD.

methodsThis study included 419,835 UK Biobank participants who did not have KSD at baseline. An air pollution score was derived through the summation of concentrations for five air pollutants, including particulate matter (PM) with aerodynamic diameter ≤2.5 μm (PM

resultsDuring a follow-up period of 12.7 years, 4503 cases of KSD were diagnosed. Significant associations were found between KSD risk and air pollution score (HR: 1.08, 95% CI: 1.03-1.13), PM IMPACT: Prolonged exposure to air pollution was correlated with a higher risk of KSD, while residential greenspace exhibits an inverse association with KSD risk, partially mediated by the reduction in air pollutants concentrations. These findings emphasize the significance of mitigating air pollution and maintaining substantial greenspace exposure as preventive measures against KSD.
