Ambient fine-particulate air pollution associates with short sleep duration among 2,082 community-dwelling older adults: findings from a large-scale questionnaire survey.

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
Objective: Short sleep duration is widespread in China's aging population, yet the contribution of ambient fine-particulate matter (PM₂.₅) remains uncertain. We investigated whether chronic PM₂.₅ exposure associates with habitual short sleep duration. Methods: Within a hospital-based outreach program we surveyed 2082 community-dwelling adults aged ≥60 years in Nanchong and Chongqing (January-December 2024). Annual PM₂.₅ (1 km Results: Mean PM₂.₅ was 44.1 ± 12.5 μg m Conclusion: Chronic PM₂.₅ exposure is a modifiable, dose-dependent driver of short sleep duration in older Chinese adults. Air-quality control may yield meaningful sleep-health dividends.
