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

Limited epidemiological studies have explored the association between outdoor and indoor air pollutants and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and elderly adults. We utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D 10), while indoor air pollution was self-reported. Outdoor air pollutant data were obtained from the China National Environmental Monitoring Center (CNEMC). Logistic regression was used to examine the association between exposure to outdoor air pollutants and indoor air pollutants from solid fuel use and depressive symptoms among middle-aged and older adults in China. The study found that each standard deviation (SD) increase in outdoor PM
