Impact of air pollution and occupational inhalation exposures on neurodegenerative disorders: An epigenetic perspective.
Review in iScience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) are highly prevalent conditions with genetic and environmental causes. Recently, air pollution has emerged as an important contributor to NDs, causing oxidative stress and neuronal damage in the brain. Identifying early molecular alterations mediating the effects of air pollution on ND pathogenesis would be crucial for implementing personalized medicine approaches, especially for the monitoring of specific categories of highly exposed workers. Epigenetic modifications might be suitable candidates in that sense, since they are highly responsive to environmental stressors, they modulate the expression of multiple ND-related genes, and offer technical advantages as they can be studies in peripheral tissues and are relatively stable in biological samples after collection. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge regarding the association between air pollution inhalation, epigenetics, and NDs. This work will particularly emphasize research gaps, aiming to provide directions for future research with applications in occupational and preventive medicine.
