Exploring Intervention Strategies to Prevent Occupational Heat Stress. A Scoping Review.
Review in Safety and health at work, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Rising global temperatures threaten workers worldwide, especially in outdoor and indoor industries like construction, manufacturing, agriculture, and mining. The current guidelines for reducing heat-related risks in these sectors lag behind those in sports and military settings. The objective of this study is to map applicable strategies across various sectors and summarize preventive strategies and methodologies. A scoping review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews. PubMed and ScienceDirect were searched for articles on internal, external, and administrative interventions. In total, 5,280 articles published between January 2020 and March 2024 were initially identified. Following a meticulous screening process, 49 articles were selected for in-depth review in this study. Notably, a considerable proportion (56%) of these studies focused on external interventions. This review revealed that a multifaceted approach is necessary to enhance the decision-making process for effectively addressing heat stress, regardless of occupational settings. This approach encompasses considerations of environmental factors, individual physiological aspects, and cooling methods. The review also highlighted limitations in effective and practical heat stress prevention strategies across various industry sectors, including the absence of dietary guidelines.
