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
The associated factors for exertional heat stroke among amateur golfers remain poorly understood. We conducted a case-control study to examine exertional heat exhaustion (EHE) - related symptoms among amateur golfers in Japan using a self-administered questionnaire. Retrospective case-control study design. A web-based questionnaire was administered from September to November 2024. Data were collected on basic attributes, lifestyle habits, perceived health factors, perceived playing conditions, changes in eating behavior, and EHE-related symptoms. We performed a case-control analysis using a multivariate conditional logistic regression model. The explanatory variables included lifestyle habits, health factors, playing conditions, and eating behavior; the objective variables were EHE-related symptoms. Our study included 194 participants with EHE-related symptoms and 252 control participants. The following factors were significantly associated with EHE symptoms: perceived dehydration (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 4.65, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 3.08-7.03); sleep deprivation (AOR, 4.38, 95% CI 2.84-6.77); loss of appetite (AOR, 4.32, 95% CI 2.84-6.58); accumulated fatigue (AOR, 3.26 95% CI 1.17-1.31); mental stress (AOR, 2.71, 95% CI 1.78-4.12); average rounds of golf (AOR 1.88, 95% CI 1.14-3.13); increased sports drink consumption (AOR 2.07, 95% CI 1.20-3.56); increased consumption of salt tablets and candies (AOR 1.99, 95% CI 1.29-3.05); and increased dietary supplement intake (AOR, 1.88, 95% CI 1.14-3.11).These findings suggest that amateur golfers should assess their physical condition before play and adjust their schedules accordingly, particularly in hot weather, to minimize the risk of heat-related illnesses.
