Analysis of the Climate Impact on Occupational Health and Safety Using Heat Stress Indexes.
Article in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Workers may be exposed to conditions that put their physical and mental integrity at risk, from workplace settings to climate characteristics. Heat stress is a harmful health condition caused by exceeding the human body's tolerance limits, leading to illness and increasing the chance of work accidents. Heat stress indexes, such as the Humidex and the Heat Index (HI), are used to measure these impacts. These indexes are significant as they provide a quantitative measure of the heat stress experienced by workers, taking into account both environmental and individual factors.
objectiveThis study aims to compare multiple heat stress indexes, relating them to historical Brazilian occupational accident data.
methodsWe selected eight indexes and applied multiple correspondence analysis to each one, a statistical method that generates graphs to visualize the association between variables in a database.
resultsThe analysis and comparison of the graphs indicated that seven of the eight indexes presented similar behavior. It was also possible to relate ranges of index values with specific characteristics of the accidents.
conclusionsThe technique allowed us to analyze the relationship between climate and work accidents and showed that the choice of the heat stress index does not significantly alter the results for most indexes studied.
