Impacts of extreme temperatures on mood disorders: A systematic review.
Synthesis in European psychiatry : the journal of the Association of European Psychiatrists, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundClimate change has contributed to an increase in extreme temperatures globally, with mounting evidence suggesting a relationship between extreme temperature exposure and mental health. This review synthesizes findings on the impacts of extreme temperatures on several aspects of mood disorders.
methodsThis systematic review was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guideline. Major databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched for eligible studies. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tool.
resultsFrom the 471 identified reports, 22 were included in the final review. The included studies were set in Asia (
conclusionsThe evidence from this review underscores the need for multi-pronged interventions, innovative practices, and public health strategies - including urban planning, patients' and public education, use of telemedicine, and policy measures - to mitigate the mental health consequences of climate change-driven extreme temperature events.
