[Estimation of Burden of Disease due to Climate Change in the Republic of Korea].
Article in Jugan geon-gang gwa jilbyeong, 2024. 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
To calculate the burden of disease due to climate change in the Republic of Korea, we categorized the health effects of climate change based on the content of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency's "First Climate Health Impact Assessment Report." We considered the impacts of climate phenomena such as heat waves and cold waves on health, as well as the effects of air quality and infectious diseases, and selected specific diseases for calculation. To determine the current disease burden, We analyzed the sample cohort database of the National Health Insurance Service from 2017 to 2019, Statistics Korea's Cause of Death Statistics data, the Korea Meteorological Administration's open MET Data Portal, and the Ministry of Environment's AIRKOREA to calculate heat waves, cold waves, air quality, and infectious diseases. Heat waves accounted for disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) in the following order: cardiovascular diseases (2,031), heat-related illnesses (1,631), nonaccidental deaths (904), and acute kidney failure (137). Cold waves are associated with cold-related illnesses (3,991) and non-accidental deaths (2,234). Short-term exposure to fine particulate matter was associated with cardiovascular diseases (9,374), ischemic heart diseases (8,803), and non-accidental deaths (1,377). Long-term exposure to fine particulate matter was associated with total deaths (235,561), strokes (30,884), lung cancer (24,585), ischemic heart diseases (20,466), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (4,195), with ozone-related diseases and infectious diseases accounting for 452 and 4,361 DALYs, respectively. This study is significant in that it confirms the current level of disease burden due to climate change in the framework of a climate health impact assessment. It is expected that future periodic measurements by socioeconomic level can contribute to reducing health disparities due to climate change.
