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 a major environmental risk factor for respiratory health, yet its interaction with seasonality in shaping the upper airway microbiota remains poorly understood. We conducted a longitudinal repeated-measures study to investigate whether seasonality modulates the effects of indoor and outdoor air pollution on the nasal microbiota of healthy adults. Twenty-six participants were sampled weekly for three weeks in winter and three weeks in summer. Microbial composition was characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing (124 samples) and whole-genome shotgun sequencing (141 samples). Weekly exposure to indoor total suspended particles (TSP) and outdoor pollutants (particulate matter, black carbon, benzene, and carbon monoxide) was assessed using environmental monitoring data. The nasal microbiota was stable within seasons but differed significantly between seasons, with winter enrichment of
