The work-recovery cycle of kidney strain and inflammation in sugarcane workers following repeat heat exposure at work and at home.
Article in European journal of applied physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo examine heat exposure at work and home and the work-recovery cycle and temporal variation of kidney strain, muscle injury and inflammation biomarkers in sugarcane workers.
methods20 male sugarcane workers (age: 33 ± 7 years) with a workplace Rest.Shade.Hydration (RSH) intervention were observed over 4 days, at the end (18 h post-shift recovery) and beginning of a work week (42 h post-shift recovery). Measures included work intensity (heart rate), gastro-intestinal temperature, estimated body core temperature (using heart rate), fluid consumption, pre- and post-work blood and urine samples, physical activity (accelerometery) away from work, plus ambient heat exposure at work and home.
resultsOn workdays, workers awakened at approx. 02:40 after 5 h sleep in ~ 30 °C. Across work shifts, daily average WBGT ranged from 26 to 29 °C (cooler than normal) and average workload intensity ranged from 55 to 58%HR
conclusionDespite RSH intervention, cross-shift kidney strain was marked (recovering overnight) and systemic inflammation increased over the work week. Thus, biomonitoring of kidney function in occupational populations should be performed before a work shift at any point in the work week. This is essential knowledge for field studies and surveillance.
