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

Single land surface temperature (LST) cannot accurately characterize the high temperature and humidity inside cities due to climate warming. Studies on changes in hot and humid urban environments have gradually used near-surface air temperature and humidity. The present study, applying the theory of local climate zones (LCZs), showed that the distribution features of hot humid urban environment and variations across time and space, both at the surface and near-surface level, could facilitate analysis of the evolution of summer heat climate in high-humidity municipalities. According to the results, from 2013 to 2022, the average LST increased by 6.15°C. LCZ8, LCZ10, and compact LCZs were the main warming areas. Relative humidity had a considerable cooling influence on the near-surface temperature but had no discernible effect on LST. Temperature of the wet bulb in the city center was lower than in the suburbs, and those in LCZs 1-3 were higher than those in LCZs 4-6.
