A narrative review of the current available literature on the intersection between the climate crisis and paediatric surgical care.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 climate crisis exacerbates health inequities, including in paediatric surgery, creating a vicious cycle. We sought to review (a) existing evidence on the connection between paediatric surgery and climate and (b) how this addresses the vicious cycle. A PubMed search was conducted on 23-08-2023. Articles not commenting on "climate change" and "paediatric surgery" were excluded. Included papers were categorised into emerging themes. Out of 151 search results, seven articles were included. The emerging themes related to "Effect of climate on paediatric surgical illness" (n = 3), "Effect of surgery on climate" (n = 2), and "Mitigating impact of paediatric surgery" (n = 2). Five articles were observational studies, and two were literature reviews, all papers published after 2020. We found limited primary research focusing on the intersection between climate change and paediatric surgery. Articles tend to focus on quantifying impact and mitigation, which does not lend itself to climate justice. The syndemic model of health focuses on the complex interconnections and pathways through which health conditions interact within populations to exacerbate adverse health outcomes. We suggest future research needs to be reframed, with the interconnection between health inequities, the climate crisis, and the wider health system addressed together.
