Air pollution and alveolar health.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Exposure to air pollution has been associated with up to 9 million premature deaths per year worldwide, with the respiratory system a key site for its effects. Air pollution exposure is a well-established risk factor for the development and exacerbation of airways diseases and lung cancer, however relatively little is known regarding the risks associated with air pollution interacting with areas of gas exchange - the alveoli and pulmonary interstitium. In recent years, evidence has emerged identifying a role in the development and progression of sub-clinical interstitial lung abnormalities as well as progression and risk of exacerbation of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases. This review outlines the epidemiologic evidence that air pollution perturbs alveolar health. It considers the different components of ambient air pollution, how penetration to the alveoli is determined by particle size and whether the response to alveolar exposure may be modulated by personal susceptibility factors. We discuss potential acute and chronic pathogenic mechanisms of injury upon the pulmonary interstitium and how these may contribute to the development and/or progression of interstitial processes. Finally, we explore current knowledge gaps and the potential for air pollution interventions in vulnerable individuals to support alveolar homeostasis and so prevent disease development and/or progression.
