Temporal variation in associations between temperature and years of life lost in a southern China city with typical subtropical climate.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Though some studies have explored the association between temperature and years of life lost (YLL), limited evidence is available regarding the effect of temporal variation on the temperature-YLL relationship, especially in developing countries. We explored temporal variation in the associations between temperature and YLL before and after 2013 heat waves (period I: Jan 2008 to Sep 2013, period II: Oct 2013 to Dec 2015) in Ningbo, a southern China city with typical subtropical climate. The heat associations showed an increasing trend. The number of YLL due to heat-related respiratory mortality was significantly higher in period II (46.03, 95% CI: 11.97, 80.08) than in period I (7.21, 95% CI: -10.04, 24.46) among married individuals. In contrast, the cold associations presented an attenuating trend, and the number of YLL due to non-accidental mortality was significantly lower in period II (262.32, 95% CI: -304.18, 828.83) than in period I (916.78, 95% CI: 596.05, 1237.51). These results indicate more effort still needed to be made to reduce heat-related YLL even after periods of extreme heat. Furthermore, using YLL provided complementary information for identifying vulnerable subgroups, which has important implications for the planning of public health interventions.
