European Code Against Cancer, 5th edition - outdoor and indoor air pollution and cancer.
Review in Molecular oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Most European Union (EU) residents live in areas where outdoor air pollution levels exceed the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide. Outdoor air pollution is classified as carcinogenic to humans, and both outdoor and indoor air contain established human carcinogens, including diesel exhaust particulates, benzo(a)pyrene [B(A)P] and benzene. The European Code Against Cancer, 5th edition (ECAC5), incorporates recommendations for individuals and policymakers aimed at reducing the cancer burden from both outdoor and indoor air pollution. A critical step is aligning EU air quality limit values with the more stringent 2021 WHO guidelines. This should be complemented by integrated policy measures, including stricter regulation of combustion emissions, promotion of active and environmentally friendly transportation, incentives for cleaner energy sources for heating and cooking, and harmonization with broader EU climate initiatives. At the individual level, emissions and exposure may be reduced by limiting car use, avoiding second-hand smoke, and refraining from burning wood or coal indoors or outdoors. Further exposure reduction may be achieved by limiting walking or cycling along heavily trafficked routes.
