Diabetes and climate change.
Article in Journal of community hospital internal medicine perspectives, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundDiabetes mellitus, a looming crisis, is approaching worldwide epidemic proportions. In 2018, 34.2 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population had diabetes. Climate change, and in particular rising global temperatures, may exacerbate various health issues, including diabetes and ultimately lead to increased mortality.
objectivesTo identify the impact of climate change on diabetes.
methodsA systematic literature review of Pubmed (MEDLINE database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics from the USA National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health) and Scopus (Elsevier's abstract and citation database) with the following terms: 'diabetes' [AND] 'climate change'.
resultsThe following risk factors for diabetes due to climate change were identified and discussed: extreme temperatures (heat), the risk of hospitalization, shortage of medical and food supplies and urbanization.
conclusionsDiabetes and climate change are interconnected. Extreme weather events and rising temperatures may increase morbidity and mortality in patients living with diabetes, especially in those with cardiovascular complications. Failure to mitigate climate change and the diabetes epidemic threatens the lives of many people in the U.S. and beyond.
