A Systematic Review of Heat Health Warning Systems: Enhancing the Framework Towards Effective Health Outcomes.
Synthesis in Current environmental health reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purpose of reviewHeat Health Warning Systems (HHWS) reduce heat-related morbidity and mortality. We reviewed scientific studies on HHWS that use meteorological variables, local climate-epidemiological evidence, personalization, and built environment factors to determine heat stress thresholds. We identified key factors to enhance their precision and effectiveness. RECENT
findingsWe categorized the findings into three groups. First, most HHWS rely on temperature-mortality relationships. Second, future HHWS should integrate climate-epidemiology data, including cause-specific mortality and morbidity. Third, improvements can be made by incorporating local, built environment, and personalized factors. Our findings highlight a diverse range of factors that can influence the nature of heat warnings and contribute to improving HHWS. Temperature based HHWS are predominantly used across the world while other meteorological variables that include humidity and take actual health impact outcomes based on heat stress indices should be included for better protection. The precision of HHWS can be improved by tapping advancements in digital technologies to develop more targeted HHWS without the need for authorities to issue warnings, and by considering built environment, and personalized factors. The effectiveness of HHWS can be further improved by considering local climate-epidemiological evidence including morbidity and actual health outcomes.
