Evaluation of the Effects of Thermal Comfort Conditions on Cardiovascular Diseases in Amasya City, Turkey.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gesundheitswissenschaften = Journal of public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Aim: Studies fall short when it comes to determining the relationship between thermal comfort and cardiovascular diseases. Studies examining the relationship between thermal comfort conditions and human health in Turkey, located in the transition zone of air masses at mid-latitudes, are quite limited. This is the first study conducted in Turkey that deals with thermal comfort conditions and CVDs, which is the leading cause of death. This study aimed to examine the relationship between thermal comfort conditions and CVDs of Amasya, a medium-sized exemplary Turkish city. Subject and methods: To determine the thermal comfort conditions in the study area between 2014-2019, the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET) index obtained from the Rayman model, which uses hourly air temperature (ºC), relative humidity (%), wind speed (m/s), and cloud cover (octa) data, was used. The relationship between PET values and CVDs was determined by Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis. Results: The study indicated a negative, high, and moderate correlation between PET values and cardiovascular diseases ( Conclusion: These results can be informative and guiding for both the protection of public health and studies on climate change and human health.
