Air pollution, driver mutations, and survival in non-small cell lung cancer: insights from a high-altitude Hispanic cohort.
Article in Translational lung cancer research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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: Lung cancer remains a critical global health concern, with a substantial fraction arising in never-smokers. Air pollution-including particulate matter (PM Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 205 Hispanic patients diagnosed with NSCLC between 2015 and 2022 at a quaternary care hospital in Bogotá, Colombia. Lung cancer driver mutations [epidermal growth factor receptor mutations (EGFRm), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression] were assessed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. The estimated individual-level exposure to air pollutants (PM Results: Mean annual exposure to PM2.5 (15.9 µg/m Conclusions: These results underscore the potential impact of air pollution on the molecular landscape and clinical outcomes of patients diagnosed with NSCLC, and they open new avenues for research in genetically admixed populations.
