Article in The journal of climate change and health. 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
Introduction: Physicians are often the first to witness the health effects of climate change and this allows them a unique platform to advocate for patients' health. Developing countries are disproportionately impacted by climate change but less is known about the health effects related to climate change in these countries. This survey was done to summarize the observations of Nepali physicians on patients' health as affected by climate change, as well as to assess the need for educational opportunities in the medical community. Methods: An electronic survey on health effects related to climate change and climate change awareness was sent to Nepali physicians by email and social media. Results: Almost all Nepali physician respondents (99%, Conclusion: This survey presents a unique case study describing the health effects of climate change witnessed by physicians in Nepal. This survey highlights that Nepali physicians are keenly aware of the harmful effects of climate change on health, duly acknowledge gaps in education in this topic and report interest in future educational activities to enhance education and to improve their ability to communicate effectively regarding the health impacts of climate change with patients.
