A multidimensional narrative review of the association between air pollution and late-life depression risk.
Review in Frontiers in public health, 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
Synthesizing evidence from 80 empirical studies identified through a systematic search of Web of Science, this review highlights the association between air pollution exposure and late-life depression. Results indicate that exposure duration is a critical modifying factor: acute, short-term exposure correlates with symptom exacerbation, whereas long-term, cumulative exposure is linked to increased incidence. Pronounced geographical heterogeneity emerges, with larger effect estimates consistently reported in highly polluted regions. Critically, significant associations persist even in low-pollution settings like Sweden, challenging the notion of a safe exposure threshold. Furthermore, neurotoxic effects vary markedly across pollutants, with PM
