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

Exposure to particulate air pollution increases total natural and cardiovascular mortality. However, it is less clear which types and sources of particles are the most harmful. We analyzed associations between long-term exposure to source-specific locally emitted particles and total natural and cardiovascular mortality in Swedish cohorts. Using high-resolution dispersion models of particles from different sources, and address registries, we assigned annual individual residential mean concentrations to population-based cohorts in Gothenburg, Stockholm and Umeå 1990-2011. Time and cause of death were assigned from registries. Associations between long-term mean lagged exposures and mortality were estimated using Cox regression models adjusted for possible confounders, and meta-analyzed. 7344 natural deaths, including 2755 cardiovascular deaths, occurred among the 68,679 participants. Exposure levels were moderate but generally above the WHO 2021 guidelines. We observed positive associations with natural mortality for the last five years of exposure to road traffic exhaust particles (HR 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.04, per IQR, and 1.10, 95% CI 1.00-1.22, per 1 µg/m
