A high temporal resolution global gridded dataset of human thermal stress metrics.
Article in Scientific data, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The human thermal stress indices and datasets are vital for promoting public health and reducing negative environmental impacts as global climate change and extreme meteorological events increase. The current thermal indices generally use an instantaneous or average value to describe thermal stress which cannot reflect the distribution of thermal comfort conditions over time, and there are no global-scale thermal stress datasets with both 0.1° or higher spatial resolution and hourly temporal resolution available yet. A novel human thermal metric, Thermal Stress Duration (TSD), is proposed to represent the accumulative time of different thermal stress levels within a certain period. A high temporal resolution global gridded dataset of human thermal stress metrics (HiGTS) is presented, which consists of hourly gridded maps of Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), Universal Thermal Stress (UTS), and daily TSD at 0.1° × 0.1° spatial resolution over the global land surface, spanning from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2023.
