Validation of livability environmental limits to heat and humidity.
Article in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2024. 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
Rising global temperatures, driven by climate change, pose a threat to human health and regional livability. Empirical data and biophysical model-derived estimates suggest that the critical environmental limits (CELs) for livability are dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. We use a well-validated, physiology-based, six-cylinder thermoregulatory model (SCTM) to independently derive CELs during sustained minimal, light, and moderate activity across a broad range of ambient temperatures and humidity levels and compare with published data. The activity and environments were considered livable if predicted core temperatures did not reach 38 ± 0.25°C within 6 h. The outcomes for minimal activity revealed CELs ranging from 34°C/95% relative humidity (RH) to 50°C/5% RH. Corresponding dry heat losses ranged from 14 to -72 W·m
