Socioeconomic disparities in heat vulnerability among adults in Finland.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Understanding how socioeconomic status (SES) relates to heat vulnerability in cooler climates remains limited. This study explored whether low SES is associated to increased heat vulnerability in Finland. Data from 1828 participants aged 25 and over were collected via surveys in 2020 and 2021. Heat vulnerability was assessed using a nine-item index and SES was categorized as low or other. Linear regression models (ß-coefficients, 95% CIs) adjusted for gender, age, and survey year, with additional stratification by gender and age. Low SES was significantly associated with increased heat vulnerability [ß = 1.16 (95% CI: 1.00-1.32)], and the association persisted after adjustment [ß = 1.06 (95% CI: 0.90-1.21)]. The effect estimates were slightly higher in men [ß = 1.13 (95% CI: 0.89-1.37)] compared to women [ß = 0.97 (95% CI: 0.76-1.18)] and in individuals over 65 years [ß = 1.09 (95% CI: 0.87-1.31)] compared to those under 65 [ß = 0.98 (95% CI: 0.76-1.20)]. However, the confidence intervals were overlapping in both comparisons. These findings highlight the need to address socioeconomic disparities in mitigating heat-related health risks, even in developed societies like Finland.
