Alterations in the Th2 Profile in a Pediatric Population Exposed to PM Emitted by Agricultural and Industrial Activities: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Toxics, 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
Air pollution with fine particulates is a recent global concern as it has been identified as a risk factor for several health problems. The molecular mechanism linking PM exposure to adverse health effects has not yet been fully elucidated but was found to be linked with inflammatory responses across many investigated exposure settings. In particular, children and juveniles turned out to be highly vulnerable in this regard, with exposure potentially leading to long-term effects on development. We therefore investigated how air pollution in an area where local exposure is traditionally linked with sugar cane production, a potential source of high PM-levels, is affecting the immunologic profile of a pediatric population. Samples were collected from pediatric populations residing in various study sites, including sites with identified sources of high PM emission like sugar cane harvest and thermoelectrical activities and sites with no identified emission sources as control non-exposed population. Significantly elevated TSLP concentrations were observed in serum samples of the pediatric population exposed to particulate matter, along with a distinctive cytokine profile characterized by increased rations of IL-2, IL-4, INF-γ, and IL-6, suggesting alterations in Th2 response. In the present study, no chemical characterization of PM was carried out; however, it was observed by air quality monitoring PM
