'Climate Change and Health Indicators' and 'Surgical System Strengthening': an opportunity for synergy.
Review in BMJ global health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Climate change is a public health emergency. Yet, incongruously, the healthcare sector is a significant source of global greenhouse gas emissions. Surgical systems are uniquely situated to address this public health crisis due to the high carbon footprint associated with surgical care delivery and the ability of strong surgical systems to foster broader climate resilience. There is an urgent need for climate change and health indicators (CCHIs) specific to surgical care to address the environmental impacts of surgery and reduce the impacts of climate change on the health of individuals, populations and surgical care delivery. In proposing a set of example CCHIs pertinent to surgical care, we call the surgical community to action to improve and refine existing indicators while simultaneously engaging in national and regional surgical system strengthening efforts. Moreover, aligning such efforts can help bridge existing climate and health funding gaps which, to date, have proved a critical barrier to ensuring effective healthcare mitigation and adaptation.
