Extreme Weather Events in the UK and Resulting Public Health Outcomes.
Synthesis in International journal of public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objectives: Extreme Weather Events (EWEs) are increasingly frequent in the United Kingdom (UK) and can lead to adverse health outcomes, resulting in additional pressure on the NHS. The aim of this review is to investigate the health impacts of EWEs on the population in the UK, through an economic lens. Methods: A systematic review of the evidence was conducted. Seven databases were searched for studies related to the public health outcomes of EWEs. Results: 48 papers met inclusion criteria: 22 flood, 25 extreme temperature, one wind. Three themes emerged: physical health impacts (predominantly temperature extremes); mental health impacts (predominantly flood-related) and socio-economic considerations (EWEs experienced disproportionately by marginalised populations). Conclusion: Whilst there is a substantial body of research on physical and mental health impacts of EWEs in the UK, there is limited evidence on socio-economic impacts, and little consideration of the economic costs. Building resilience against the health impacts of EWEs is essential. Future studies should consider incorporating cost-benefit analyses (CBA) to investigate the economic costs of EWEs on populations and health systems in the UK, and of potential mitigation efforts.
