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

Background: While established associations between air pollution and adverse cardiovascular outcomes are known, it remains uncertain whether short-term exposure to air pollution is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The risk of VTE associated with pollution seasonality (summer wildfire season vs winter inversion season) is not understood. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess for an association between short-term exposure to air pollution and VTE. Methods: We queried the electronic data warehouse of an integrated healthcare system for VTE occurrence from January 1, 2008, to March 31, 2022, at 11 hospitals on Utah's Wasatch Front. We described air pollution based on small particulate matter (PM Results: Among 25,083 VTE cases, no significant association was observed between short-term PM Conclusion: We found little evidence that short-term air pollution exposure increases VTE risk. However, short-term PM
