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

The 2024 Teale Essay Prize invited resident or specialty and associate specialist doctors to consider how climate change affects healthcare, and the role of the physician. This theme aligns with the Royal College of Physicians' commitment to sustainable healthcare. The link between climate and health is not new - Hippocrates described this relationship nearly 2,500 years ago. More recently, catastrophic events, including crop failures due to extreme weather and the spread of diseases, have been attributed to climate change. These events can impact health directly, eg through trauma and infections, and indirectly, through rising rates of cardiovascular, respiratory, and mental health illnesses and other long-term conditions. Here, I reflect on my winning essay, from the perspective of a trainee rheumatologist with an academic interest in social determinants of health. This article examines the global health challenges resulting from climate change, and considers how physicians can practice more sustainably.
