Cold weather injuries among the active and reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces, July 2019-June 2024.
Article in MSMR, 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
Over the 5-year surveillance period, from July 2019 through June 2024, the crude incidence rate of any cold weather injury was 31.1 per 100,000 person-years (p-yrs) for the active component and 6.4 per 100,000 persons for the reserve component of the U.S. Armed Forces. From July 2023 through June 2024, a total of 456 members of the active (n=403) and reserve (n=53) components of the U.S. Armed Forces had at least 1 cold weather injury. During the 2023-2024 cold season, the rates of any cold weather injury increased slightly for the active (31.1 per 100,000 p-yrs) and reserve (6.4 per 100,000 persons) components compared to the previous cold season. The rate of any cold weather injury varied among the services for the 2023-2024 cold season, with higher rates observed in the Army and the Marine Corps. Over the entire surveillance period, active component service member cold weather injury rates were higher among males, non-Hispanic Black or African Americans, and those under 20 years old.
