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

Objectives: The European Climate and Health Responder Course aimed to enhance health professionals' knowledge, confidence, and preparedness to address climate-related health challenges. Methods: The course was delivered as a synchronous, online program targeting health professionals across diverse fields. Data on participant demographics, engagement, and knowledge improvement were collected through pre- and post-course surveys and course completion metrics. Statistical analysis measured changes in participants' confidence and preparedness across targeted outcomes. Results: Of the 4,407 individuals who registered for the course, 21% completed the course, with the majority of them being from Europe and from academic and research institutions. The longitudinal survey revealed significant improvements in participants' self-perceived outcomes across the three target domains from pre-course levels: communication, professional applicability, and self-efficacy. Conclusion: The pilot European Climate and Health Responder course highlights both the strong demand for and the effectiveness of climate change and health education for health professionals. The global interest further highlights the need for expanded climate-health education beyond the European Region.
