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
Objective: Acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) is a common cerebrovascular disease; however, the relationship between temperature and its onset remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to explore the association between temperature and the incidence of AIS in Yanji, a city in Northeast China. Methods: We collected data on patients with AIS from the Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University from Jan 1, 2019, to Dec 31, 2023, along with meteorological data during the same period. A distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was constructed to estimate the correlation between temperature and the risk of developing AIS, and further subgroup analyses stratified by sex, age and period (non-pandemic, pandemic) were performed. Results: A total of 15,997 patients were diagnosed with AIS during the study period. Using the minimum morbidity temperature (MMT) of -8.3°C as a reference, extreme heat (26.5°C, 99th percentile of temperature) and moderate heat (21.9°C, 90th percentile of temperature) were found to increase the risk of developing AIS on the day of exposure, with this effect persisting even after a lag of 7 days. The relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals were 1.268 (95% CI: 1.143-1.407) and 1.239 (95% CI: 1.145-1.341), respectively. In contrast, no harmful effects were observed within a lag of 0-7 days for extreme cold (-17.4°C, 1st percentile of temperature) and moderate cold (-10.6°C, 10th percentile of temperature) conditions. Subgroup analysis revealed that in the early stages of exposure to extreme heat and moderate heat, the risk of developing AIS increased in males and individuals under 65 years of age, and there were differences in the risk of developing AIS between the pandemic and non-pandemic periods. Conclusion: Our research suggests that exposure to high-temperature environments increases the risk of developing AIS and that the harmful effects of high temperatures have a lag effect. Reducing exposure to high temperatures may help alleviate the medical burden associated with AIS.
