Causal Concentration-Response Modeling with Continuous Curves and Exposure Error Correction:
Article in Environmental health perspectives, 2025. 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
backgroundMany studies have reported associations of fine particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter
objectivesWe examined the association of
methodsUsing monitors not used to fit our
resultsThe propensity score analysis achieved good balance for all covariates. Controlling for the propensity scores, we found a concentration-response curve with no evidence of a threshold and whose confidence interval did not include the null from DISCUSSION: The concentration-response curve between air pollution and mortality remains after adjustment for exposure error and using causal models and continues to concentrations below current US EPA and EU standards and even below WHO guidelines. Exposure error in the original exposure resulted in noticeable downward bias at low concentrations. Persons identifying as black are more susceptible. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15238.
