The circles represent the rate of very low birthweight births among the analyzed livebirths by country.
The dots with error bars show the estimated associations between gestational exposure to fire-sourced PM2.5 and birthweight change, low birthweight, or very low birthweight. The dots represent the …
The nth lagged exposure is defined as the concentration of fire-sourced PM2.5 during the nth month before birth. The results are estimated from the lag-distributed models.
The solid line represents the point estimates, the dashed line represents the 95% confidence intervals, the boxplots represent the distributions of different exposure levels by regions, and the red …
The lines show the estimated association (y-axis) between gestational exposure to fire-sourced PM2.5 and relative change in birthweight, given different baseline birthweights (x-axis). The solid …
The solid line presents the point estimates, the dashed line presents the 95% confidence intervals, and the boxplots present the distributions of different birthweight levels by regions.

Summary of analyzed variables.
(a) Comparison between the PM2.5 concentrations simulated by GEOS-Chem model and those estimated from satellite measurements and other inputs. In the comparison, the satellite-based estimates are utilized as the gold-standard referent values and the GEOS-Chem simulations as predictions. (b) Population characteristics.
