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

backgroundCardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, characterized by interconnected cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic dysfunctions, poses a growing global health burden. While both light at night (LAN) and air pollutants have independently been linked to adverse health outcomes, their synergistic and joint effects on CKM syndrome risk remain poorly understood. This study aimed to assess the independent, interactive, and joint associations of LAN, air pollutants, and PM

methodsData from 4,361 participants aged ≥ 45 years in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS, 2011-2015) were analyzed. Cox proportional hazards regression models were employed to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for CKM syndrome risk. Multiplicative and additive interactions between LAN and air pollutants were assessed using likelihood ratio tests and relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI). Joint effects were evaluated by categorizing exposures into tertiles.

resultsOver a median follow-up of 4.2 years, 792 incident CKM syndrome cases were identified. Adjusted models indicated that higher LAN exposure (highest vs. lowest quartile: HR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.18-1.80) and increased levels of NO₂ (HR = 1.44, 95% CI: 1.18-1.75), PM

conclusionThis study provided evidence that LAN, air pollutants, and PM
