1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveAlthough biomedical informatics has multiple roles to play in addressing the climate crisis, collaborative action and research agendas have yet to be developed. As a first step, AMIA's new Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group held a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? during the AMIA 2023 Fall Symposium to define an initial set of areas of interest and begin mobilizing informaticians to confront the urgent challenges of climate change. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe AMIA Climate, Health, and Informatics Working Group (at the time, an AMIA Discussion Forum), the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics (IAHSI), and the Regenstrief Institute hosted a mini-summit entitled Climate and health: How can informatics help? on November 11, 2023, during the AMIA 2023 Annual Symposium (New Orleans, LA, USA). Using an affinity diagramming approach, the mini-summit organizers posed 2 questions to ∼50 attendees (40 in-person, 10 virtual).

resultsParticipants expressed a broad array of viewpoints on actions that can be undertaken now and areas needing research to support future actions. Areas of current action ranged from enhanced education to expanded telemedicine to assessment of community vulnerability. Areas of research ranged from emergency preparedness to climate-specific clinical coding to risk prediction models. DISCUSSION: The mini-summit was intended as a first step in helping the informatics community at large set application and research priorities for climate, health, and informatics.

conclusionThe working group will use these perspectives as it seeks further input, and begins to establish priorities for climate-related biomedical informatics actions and research.
