Associations Between Temperature and Location of Injury or Condition Among Heat-Related Emergency Department Visits.
Article in GeoHealth, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
High ambient temperature poses significant health risk globally. However, the relative importance of different exposure pathways leading to health risks remains unclear. For 9 US states during 2016-2018, ED visit records for heat exhaustion and heat stroke (HEAT), fluid and electrolyte imbalance (FEI), volume depletion (VD), and acute kidney injury (AKI) were identified via diagnosis codes. Co-diagnosed Y92 subcodes (Y codes) were used to categorize the patient's location at the time of injury or condition. Logistic regressions were used to estimate nonlinear associations between same-day temperature and Y codes for 11 non-residential versus residential locations among heat-related ED visits, including stratified analyses by patient age, race, and ethnicity. Odds ratios (OR) were calculated between the 95th versus 50th percentile of temperature. Overall, higher temperature was associated with increased risks of ED visits with Y codes for non-residential locations. HEAT ED visits were more likely to have Y codes for streets compared to residential locations (OR:1.68, 95% CI: 1.12-2.51). Similarly, VD visits were more likely to have Y codes for industrial area (OR: 2.68, 95% CI: 1.98-3.63), farms (OR:7.66, 95% CI: 4.05-14.50), recreation areas (OR:2.25, 95% CI: 1.78-2.84), and streets (OR:1.54, 95% CI: 1.39-1.70), but were less likely to have Y codes for public places (OR: 0.89, 95% CI: 0.84, 0.94). Similar associations were observed for FEI and AKI ED visits. Locations associated with higher heat risks may be due to exposure outdoor temperature and activities, supporting the need to develop strategies and interventions that minimize heat exposure in these areas.
