Monitoring heat strain: the effect of sensor type and location on single-site and mean skin temperature during work in the heat.
Article in International archives of occupational and environmental health, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeElevations in skin temperature and heat strain reduce tolerance to work in the heat. This study assessed agreement between mean (eight sites) and single-site skin temperature, measured by a conductive or infrared sensor, during exercise in the heat.
methodsTwelve males (age: 24.2 ± 3.7 years; height: 180 ± 6.5 cm; body mass: 82.9 ± 9.5 kg; body fat: 16.0 ± 6.5%) volunteered to participate in two trials. Thirty minutes of seated rest was followed by 60 min of treadmill walking (4.5 km·h
resultsSkin temperature on the chest, scapula, and thigh showed acceptable agreement with [Formula: see text] (mean difference < 0.5 °C and limits of agreement ± 1.0 °C) in both ATH and CPE. Skin temperature on the axilla overestimated [Formula: see text] in ATH (T
conclusionThe overestimate of mean skin temperature had a significant influence on the aPSI, which has important implications for real-time monitoring and risk management of personnel working in hot environments.
