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

The global climate crisis is a health crisis that impacts both rheumatology patients and providers. Extreme weather events and pollution impact health care access, infrastructure, medication availability and efficacy, and disease activity. Rheumatologists and patients with rheumatic disease have faced these climate change-related challenges worldwide with limited support systems in place. In this narrative review, we present perspectives of rheumatologists from 5 countries representing Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and North America, who have navigated the drivers and consequences of climate change. Uniting lived experience with existing evidence, we discuss suggestions for climate adaptation to foster resilient global rheumatology practice.
