Air pollution and cardiovascular diseases: mechanisms, evidence, and mitigation strategies.
Review in Journal of medicine and life, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
One of the most urgent environmental health issues is air pollution, which has a major effect on cardiovascular health. Among other pollutants, fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has been connected to a number of cardiovascular illnesses (CVDs), including myocardial infarction, stroke, and hypertension. The purpose of this review was to summarize current research on the processes by which air pollution raises the risk of CVD and to investigate mitigation and preventative measures. A review of peer-reviewed articles published between 2015 and 2025 was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. The review focused on studies examining the relationship between PM2.5 and cardiovascular diseases, incorporating epidemiological, experimental, and clinical perspectives. PM2.5 and other pollutants exacerbate CVD risk through mechanisms such as autonomic instability, endothelial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Risks are disproportionately high for vulnerable groups, such as the elderly and those with underlying cardiovascular diseases. Targeted public health policies, stricter air quality regulations, and increased public awareness are essential to mitigate the cardiovascular risks posed by air pollution. Immediate action is imperative to safeguard global health.
