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

Background: Heatstroke causes numerous pathophysiological changes and can lead to death. Extreme heat events have been increasing in frequency, duration, and intensity worldwide in recent decades and are causing growing public health concern. However, epidemiological studies of heatstroke are limited in number and scope, and have had relatively small sample sizes. To better understand the epidemiological characteristics of heatstroke and advance evidence-based prevention and control strategies, we conducted an observational study of reported heatstroke cases in China. Methods: Cases included in this study were patients clinically diagnosed with heatstroke during the study period of 2010-2023, reported through a dedicated heatstroke surveillance system established by China CDC. We used descriptive statistical methods to determine the epidemiological characteristics of heatstroke in China. Findings: There were 86,406 heatstroke cases reported during the study period, with an increasing reporting trend (Spearman correlation coefficient Interpretation: Our study provides a clear profile of heatstroke cases, and highlights differences by population, region, and time of year. Results inform formulation of evidence-based strategies for enhanced heatstroke preparedness and response, such as enhancing public health early warning systems, prioritizing protection for vulnerable groups, and advancing localized interventions for risk communication and clinical management. Funding: Public Health Talent Program of China's National Disease Control and Prevention Administration.
