Daytime and nighttime heatwave intensity and acute care utilization for mental and neurological disorders in California.
Article in Environmental research, health : ERH, 2026. 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
Heatwave exposures have been linked to a variety of mental and neurological disorders. Little is known, however, about the potentially differential associations of daytime versus nighttime heatwave intensity with subtypes of mental and neurological disorders. In this time-stratified case-crossover study, we estimated and compared the associations of typically dry daytime and typically humid nighttime heatwave intensities, characterized by heatwave indices (HWIs), with acute care utilizations for various subtypes of mental and neurological disorders in 1412 ZIP Code Tabulation Areas in California from 2006 to 2019. A total of 4309 294 acute care utilizations for mental disorders and 2097 563 for neurological disorders were included in this study. Higher associations with nighttime HWI were found for most disease subtypes, including anxiety disorder, depressive disorder, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, and Parkinson's disease; while daytime HWI showed a higher impact on conduct disorders (
