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

objectiveThis study was designed to examine the associations between regional weather data and agricultural worksite temperatures in Florida.

methodsFlorida farmworkers (n = 105) were each monitored using iButton technology paired with simultaneous data from regional weather stations. Conditional inference tree models were developed for (1) regional environmental temperatures and iButton (worksite) temperatures, and (2) regional heat index (HI) and iButton HI.

resultsWorksite temperatures were partitioned by regional temperature at the primary node of 29.1°C. Worksite HI was partitioned at nodes of 33.0°C, 36.0°C, 37.0°C, and 40.0°C. The nodes at 33.0°C and 40.0°C mirror the National Weather Service's category entry points for "extreme caution" and "danger" regarding the risk of developing heat-related illness.

conclusionRegional weather data have the potential to provide estimations of worksite environmental conditions allowing employers to quickly implement strategies to protect workers.
