Exposure to consecutive extreme ozone-heatwave events and neurological disorders: a retrospective cohort study in Nanjing, China.
Article in Environmental health : a global access science source, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesIn the context of global warming and escalating urbanization, occurrences of extreme ozone (EO) and heatwave (HW) events are increasingly frequent. However, studies on the impact of consecutive extreme ozone and heatwave (EO-HW) events on hospitalizations for neurological disorders (ND) and related economic burdens remains limited. Our study aimed to explore the impacts of these events on ND hospitalizations, length of stay, and related costs, with a specific focus on quantifying the impacts of consecutive extreme events of varying durations.
methodsTime-series analysis was performed to investigate the relationships between consecutive O
resultsExposure to EO-HW events were associated with an increased risk of hospitalization for ND, with this risk persisting from lag 1 day (1.097, 95% CI: 1.005,1.198) to lag 4 days (1.071, 95% CI: 1.004,1.139). Significant associations were particularly evident in male (highest RR value 1.092, 95% CI: 1.016,1.173) and aged < 65 years (highest RR value 1.124, 95% CI: 1.008,1.254). Furthermore, exposure to EO-HW events were found to result in longer length of stay and higher hospitalization costs compared to exposure to HW events alone.
conclusionsConsecutive EO-HW events significantly increase the risk of hospitalization and the economic burden of ND. Local authorities should consider incorporating early warning information and public health interventions for consecutive extreme weather into existing early warning systems. Neglecting to do so will likely result in higher associated illness rates and economic burdens.
