1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In a warming climate, the co-occurrence of extreme heat and ozone pollution is increasing, amplifying risks to public health. While the role of subtropical high in driving such events over northern China is well recognized, the influence of terrain-atmosphere interactions remains poorly understood. Here, we analyze long-term trends in extreme heat and its link to pollution across northern China, alongside meteorology-chemistry modeling of a severe compound event in 2022. The mountains act as both barriers that inhibit dispersion, and elevated heat sources that drive thermally induced mountain-plain breeze circulations. These circulations promote the formation of upper-level heat and ozone reservoirs and enhance entrainment into the boundary layer, accelerating the buildup of near-surface extremes. Our findings highlight the amplifying role of complex terrain in compound hazards and the need for integrated mitigation strategies.
