Pulmonary function responses to extreme heat exposure in younger and older adults.

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
Older adults have both lower pulmonary function and impaired thermoregulation compared with younger adults. In addition, epidemiological evidence suggests that extreme heat exposure increases the incidence of pulmonary complications in older adults. However, the impact of extreme heat exposure on pulmonary function in healthy older and younger adults is not well described. To assess this question, spirometry was performed at baseline in a thermoneutral environment and at the end of a 3-h heat exposure in a DRY (47°C and 15% humidity) and HUMID (41°C and 40% humidity) environment. Fifteen younger (7 female; 30 ± 5 yr) and 15 older (8 female; 72 ± 5 yr) adults completed the study. In the DRY condition, the younger adults had no change in forced vital capacity (FVC) from baseline (4.34 ± 0.55 L) to end-heating (4.31 ± 0.62 L;
