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

Climate change is the single greatest existential threat to children worldwide, adversely affecting the health and well-being of children and young people.The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health members living outside the UK (respondents) were invited to an online anonymised survey where opting-in participants answered 32 questions covering 6 domains.139 respondents from 50 countries responded to the survey. Respondents agreed that climate change influences the rising rates of children with heat-related (50%), infectious (64%) and mental health (36%).The climate crisis is a global emergency, and working together is paramount to safeguarding the planet for future generations.
