[Thermal stress of urban dwellers during heat waves using the example of Freiburg (Breisgau)].
Article in Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundAs a result of climate change, people are increasingly affected by heat and the negative health effects of heat. Air temperature is often used as a measurement. However, in order to characterize the effects of heat on humans, other factors must be considered in addition to air temperature.
objectivesThe aim of this paper is to characterize the thermal stress of urban dwellers by means of the perceived temperature during heat waves, compare it with rural dwellers, and highlight differences from air temperature. MATERIALS AND
methodsData from the year 2019 are used from two different German Weather Service (DWD) stations located within the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, and its surroundings (Freiburg Airport). Air temperature as well as other meteorological elements were taken to calculate the perceived temperature by means of the Klima-Michel model. Additionally, days with heat warnings as well as nightly indoor temperatures from the heat health warning system are presented.
resultsThe perceived temperature exceeds the air temperature during heat waves by up to 10 °C. The classic heat-island effect is particularly evident in the difference in the nightly air temperature while the difference in the daily air temperature is small. In the case of perceived temperature, the difference is significantly higher not only at night but also during the day.
conclusionsIn order to quantify negative impacts, not only the knowledge of air temperature is required, but also other factors that describe and control the thermal stress on humans. Urban-rural differences in air temperature and perceived temperature enable heat quantification. Adaptation measures taking into account the more intense conditions in cities are necessary.
