A Long-Term Projection for Emergency Ambulance Services Demand in Taipei and the Related Effects by Temperature.
Article in Emergency medicine international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Research Purpose: This study aims to project the yearly emergency ambulance service (EAS) demand for Taipei from 2015 to 2051. The effects of daily average temperature on EAS demand in 2036 and 2051 will also be projected. Research Methods: Over 140,000 EAS patient records in 2015 were obtained from the Taipei Fire Department in order to conduct the EAS demand projection. The projection was computed accounting for changes in the age-gender structure compared to the base year (2015). The relationship between daily average temperature and EAS demand in 2036 and 2051 was further explored by including and excluding age-gender structure changes. Results: Without accounting for changes in the age-gender structure, the 2051 EAS demand for age groups over 65 was consistently underestimated by 42%-90%, while that for younger age groups was overestimated by 35%-55%. In addition, the projected quadratic curve for describing the relationship between average daily temperature and EAS demand in 2051 showed a significant upward shift and increase in curvature when accounting for changes in the age-gender structure. Conclusions: With an accurate long-term projection for EAS demand in Taipei city and other regions in Taiwan, the government can design strategies for improving the EAS system in order to deal with the rapidly aging population.
