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

Background: Excessive exposure to PM2.5 can be detrimental to reproductive health. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential associations between ambient PM2.5 exposure during different periods and negative pregnancy outcomes, such as miscarriage and preterm birth, in patients who underwent assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined the outcomes of 2,839 infertile women aged ≤ 45 years who underwent their first fresh or frozen-thawed embryo transfer at the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital between April 2016 and December 2019. Satellite data were used to determine the daily average levels of PM2.5, and exposure was categorized as excessive if it exceeded the WHO's interim target 2 level of 50 µg/m Results: Daily PM2.5 exposure exceeding the threshold (50 µg/m Conclusion: Excessive PM2.5 exposure after biochemical pregnancy or clinical pregnancy was associated with increased risks of preterm birth and miscarriage among women who underwent ART.
