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

backgroundHeat protection in inpatient care facilities can prevent heat-related mortality and morbidity among people in need of care and relieve the burden on nursing personnel.

objectiveThe research project "Heat protection measures in inpatient and outpatient care (HISTA)", funded by the GKV-Spitzenverband (Statutory Health Insurance Umbrella Organization), investigates which heat protection measures have been implemented in inpatient care facilities to date and which challenges are perceived in their implementation.

methodsAn online survey was conducted in 2024 among a random sample of managers of inpatient care facilities. A descriptive and statistical evaluation was carried out.

resultsA total of 282 people participated in the survey. The majority considered heat protection to be important. Heat protection measures are implemented to varying degrees. The need for support is seen particularly in the financing of technical and construction measures. DISCUSSION: The implementation of heat protection measures depends on the available options and resources. Heat protection should be seen as a task for society as a whole, which would ensure not only obligations to provide heat protection but also financing.
