Heatstroke management during the COVID-19 epidemic: recommendations from the experts in Japan.
Article in Acute medicine & surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Fever and hyperthermia are the main symptoms of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and heatstroke, and it is difficult to distinguish them. There is a need to discuss safe prevention and medical treatment for heatstroke. In view of the above issues, the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine "Committee on heatstroke and hypothermia" established a "Working group on heatstroke medical care given the COVID-19 epidemic" jointly with the Japanese Society for Emergency Medicine that focuses on emergency medical personnel, including paramedics and nurses, the Japanese Association for Infectious Diseases, an academic society of infectious disease, and the Japanese Respiratory Society, an academic organization on respiratory diseases. The precautions for prevention of heatstroke this summer during the coronavirus epidemic was summarized in "Proposals on heatstroke prevention based on the COVID-19 epidemic" as follows and was issued on 1 June, 2020. Based on the above, we have determined that guidance in clinical practice is necessary not only from the viewpoint of heatstroke prevention, but also medical treatment. As such, we have created this guidance in the form of supplementary recommendations.
