Article in Scientific data, 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
As global warming intensifies, extreme heat events, especially those occurring simultaneously or sequentially in multiple regions, are becoming more frequent. This highlights the growing need to analyze heat stress from the perspectives of human health and spatiotemporal correlations. Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) is a well-established heat stress indicator closely linked to human health. However, its reliance on specialized measurements and resource-intensive computations limits its widespread use, particularly for researchers without an earth sciences background. To address this, we adopted a simplified WBGT (sWBGT), which effectively simulates human cooling through sweating, to generate a global 2° resolution dataset of daily maximum sWBGT from 1940 to 2022. This dataset fills a critical gap in long-term, global-scale heat stress data. Additionally, we employed climate network methods to innovatively explore teleconnections of extreme heat events, providing a tool to reveal their spatiotemporal relationships and supporting the development of effective health protection strategies.
