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

Background: Air pollution contributes to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but its associations with anemia-related outcomes in COPD and the modifying role of genetic susceptibility remain unclear. Objectives: To examine the associations of ambient air pollution with COPD and anemia-related outcomes, and to assess the potential modifying role of genetic susceptibility. Methods: This Taiwan Biobank case-control study included 7,566 cases and 22,698 age- and sex-matched controls. COPD was defined by presence of airflow obstruction or self-reported emphysema/chronic bronchitis, and anemia by World Health Organization hemoglobin cutoffs. Residential 1-, 3-, 6-, and 12-month exposures to particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ≤10 µm (PM Results: Higher PM Conclusions: Residential air pollution exposure across the evaluated pre-recruitment averaging periods was associated with COPD.
