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

Anthropogenic climate change has led to a significant increase in global average temperatures and the frequency of extreme heat events. Rising temperatures have a broad range of health implications and have the potential to significantly impact neurological disorders and brain health. A growing body of evidence suggests that the incidence and severity of many common neurological conditions (stroke, epilepsy, headache, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative disorders) are affected by climate change. Ireland's average temperature is rising, and we are likely to experience extreme heat events more frequently in the coming years. In this review, we highlight the current evidence on the impact of climate change and air pollution on neurological disease in the context of Irish climate trends and advocate for more urgent healthcare planning to address the impact of climate change on the Irish healthcare service.
