Table 6 PM2.5 and Performance IQ

From: Quantifying the association between PM2.5 air pollution and IQ loss in children: a systematic review and meta-analysis

  1. Forest plot showing effect of PM2.5exposure on PIQ using a random effects model. A significant overall effect size of -0.39 (-0.65, -0.14) PIQ points lost per 1µg/m³ increase in PM2.5 (p = 0.003) was observed. Plot presents point estimates and 95% confidence intervals for each study included in the meta-analysis. Individual studies are represented by squares (point estimates) and horizontal lines (confidence intervals). Pooled effect estimate is indicated by a diamond at the bottom, with its width representing the confidence interval
  2. *IQ Points lost per 1µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 All meta-analyses generated using a Random Effects model in R Statistical Software (v4.4.1)
