Short-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide and emergency department visits for cause-stroke: a time-series study in Shanghai, China, 2013-2022.
Article in Environmental health and preventive medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
backgroundThe association between air pollution and an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, is well-established. However, it remains unclear how reductions in pollutant levels-resulting from clean air policies and the COVID-19 lockdown-affect this relationship.
methodsA time-series study was conducted using data from Shanghai, China, spanning from 2013 to 2022, divided into two periods (2013-2019 and 2020-2022). Daily air pollution data were obtained from China's air quality platform, while stroke emergency department (ED) visits were sourced from Renhe Hospital. We employed quasi-Poisson regression to analyze the relationship between daily pollutant levels and stroke ED visits, with stratified analyses by sex, age, season, and period. The study identified significant reductions in six pollutants (PM
