The impact of high humidex on the risk of hospital admissions for urinary system diseases in Lanzhou, China: A time-series analysis.
Article in iScience, 2025. 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
There is scant research on the association between humidex exposure and urinary system diseases. Hospitalization records from Lanzhou city were collected for the period 2015 to 2019, alongside daily meteorological and air pollution data for the study duration. Daily humidex was calculated using temperature and relative humidity indices. The study employed a combined approach of generalized additive models and distributed lag non-linear models (DLNMs) to estimate the exposure-lag-response relationship between humidex and hospital admissions for urinary system diseases, as well as for subgroups of diseases (urolithiasis and tubule-interstitial diseases). A total of 55,365 patients with urinary system diseases were included. The single lag effect of overall urinary system diseases was most significant on lag13 with the relative risk (RR) = 1.066 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.011, 1.124), while the cumulative lag effect over lag0-14 was most significant with RR = 1.387 (95% CI: 1.240, 1.550). The goal of this study was to establish an early warning system and allocate medical resources effectively to reduce hospital admissions for urinary system diseases.
