How does air quality affect the health of children and adolescents?
Review in Jornal de pediatria. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectivesTo assess how air quality and pollutants affect the health of children and adolescents. SOURCE OF DATA: A narrative review of recent literature was conducted using PubMed databases, focusing on studies published between 2015 and 2023. The keywords included "air pollution", "child health", "adolescents", "respiratory diseases" and "cognitive development". The studies were selected based on their relevance to the pediatric community and impacts on air quality, emphasizing original peer-reviewed research and meta-analyses. SYNTHESIS OF DATA: Exposure to pollutants in the air during the formative and development years can lead to respiratory disorders, neurodevelopmental impairment, and exacerbated chronic conditions. This review synthesizes current evidence on the relationship between air quality and pediatric health, emphasizing the effects of specific pollutants, mechanisms of harm, and long-term implications.
conclusionsFrom respiratory disorders to neurodevelopmental problems, air pollution, remains a widespread threat, particularly to vulnerable populations. Immediate actions at the political, community, individual, and industry levels are necessary to mitigate these risks.
