Evaluating low-energy cooling strategies on thermal and cardiac strain in older adults exposed to very hot and dry heat with accompanying activities of daily living.
Trial report in Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We tested the hypothesis that skin wetting would attenuate, whereas electric fans would increase, thermal and cardiac strain in older adults exposed to very hot and dry heat. Twenty-three older adults (66-84 yr) were exposed (randomized) to 3 h of ambient heating (47°C and 15% relative humidity) with water spray, fan use, water spray + fan use, or no cooling intervention. We assessed thermal, cardiovascular, and cardiac responses. Compared with control, water spray reduced the increase in core temperature by -0.24°C [95% CI: -0.42, -0.06] (
