Association of air pollution and atmospheric conditions on pulmonary embolism incidence and severity.
Article in Research and practice in thrombosis and haemostasis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In addition to traditional risk factors, environmental exposures such as air pollution and atmospheric conditions may influence PE risk, although existing evidence is inconsistent. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association between particulate matter (PM), air temperature, and barometric pressure with PE incidence and severity. Methods: In this cohort study, we included all PE cases diagnosed at the Vienna General Hospital, Austria, during a 4-year period. Daily averages of PM Results: Among 969 patients (median age, 64 years; 50.3% women), higher levels of PM Conclusion: Our findings indicate that air pollution and atmospheric pressure are associated with increased PE incidence, emphasizing the potential contribution of environmental exposures to PE risk.
