1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 is particularly harmful to people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exposure to air pollution from sources such as biomass burning leads to a unique COPD phenotype. This phenotype mainly shows airway damage, with less emphysema than typical smoking-related phenotypes. Across various COPD phenotypes, airway epithelial barrier dysfunction is a basic pathological mechanism. This narrative review summarises the current available evidence on how different types of airborne pollutants, including particulate matter (PM), ozone (O
