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

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a serious public health burden in developing countries. We conducted a time-series study to explore the association between ambient temperature and daily hospital admissions for RHD in Shanghai, China. We collected data on daily hospital admissions for RHD from 2013 to 2015 from the database of Shanghai Health Insurance System. We applied the generalized additive models together with the distributed lag nonlinear model to estimate the association between temperature and RHD hospital admissions after controlling for relative humidity, time trend, day of the week, and holidays. Stratification analyses by age and gender were performed to evaluate their potential effect modification. A total of 4178 cases of RHD hospitalizations were identified over the study period. There were almost linear, positive, and significant associations between daily mean temperature and RHD hospital admissions with higher risks at hotter days. Compared to reference temperature (0 °C), the cumulative risks of moderate heat (the 90th percentile of temperature, 28.0 °C) and extreme heat (the 99th percentile of temperature, 33.5 °C) over lags 0-5 days were 2.55 (95% confidence interval 1.14, 5.73) and 3.22 (95% confidence interval 1.36, 7.61), respectively. These associations were significantly stronger in older people than in younger people. This study indicated larger risks of RHD hospital admissions associated with higher temperature, especially in older people. Our findings provided first-hand epidemiological evidence regarding the effects of ambient temperature on RHD incidence.
