Overexposed and Understudied: Environmental Risks Among Older Adults Experiencing Homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona.
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.
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
Individuals experiencing homelessness are highly vulnerable to urban environmental hazards, such as heat and air pollution, due to a lack of stable housing and limited access to indoor or cooled spaces. These risks are heightened for older adults and individuals with preexisting health conditions. With intensifying summer heat in the American Southwest and the persistence of urban homelessness, this study explores how older adults experiencing homelessness in Phoenix, Arizona perceive and interact with heat and air pollution as well as the adequacy of available coping resources and information. A survey was co-produced with community members with lived experience. A sub-group of community members assisted in proctoring the surveys among adults 55 and older at a downtown service agency. Survey results informed the location of data collection using MaRTy-a mobile biometeorological cart-and remotely sensed fine particulate matter (PM
