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

purpose of reviewThis paper synthesizes recent research about the impacts of climate change on farmworkers and analyzes notable features of existing laws in Canada and the United States designed to protect farmworkers from extreme heat. RECENT

findingsExtreme heat presents a widespread and urgent threat to the wellbeing and productivity of agricultural workers globally, and it amplifies occupational exposures such as pesticides and air pollution. Other extreme weather events such as wildfires and flooding also heighten risks to agricultural workers. In Canada and the United States, laws designed to protect workers from extreme heat are limited to a handful of jurisdictions. Laws that regulate working in extreme heat are one tool to protect farmworkers from climate change. Important features of these laws include trigger temperatures at which extreme heat measures are required and heat-specific measures related to hydration, acclimatization and administrative controls. More research is needed to better understand how effective these laws are at protecting workers on the ground.
