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

This study aims to assess the short-term effects of extreme heat, cold, and air pollution episodes on excess mortality from natural causes in Luxembourg over 1998-2023. Using a high-resolution dataset from downscaled and bias-corrected temperature (ERA5) and air pollutant concentrations (EMEP MSC-W), weekly mortality p-scores were linked to environmental episodes. A distributional regression approach using a logistic distribution was applied to model the influence of environmental risks, capturing both central trends and extreme values of excess mortality. Results indicate that extreme heat, cold, and fine particulate matter (PM
