Heatwaves mortality according to specific causes in Argentinian cities (2005-2019).
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: Heatwaves pose a significant natural threat to human health, with varying impacts on morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods: This study aimed to characterize the risk of mortality associated with heatwaves (HWs), considering specific causes of death in 21 Argentine cities between 2005 and 2019. An ecological observational epidemiological study was conducted using a time series statistical approach, with generalized additive models. Data were sourced from the Ministry of Health and the National Meteorological Service (NMS). Deaths due to cardiovascular (ICD10: I00-I99), respiratory (J00-J99), and renal (N00-N99) causes during HWs and their temporal lags were analyzed. Results: In 15 of the 21 cities, a significant increase in mortality was observed for the specific causes analyzed (cardiovascular: 13; respiratory: 10; and renal: 7) during HWs and their lags. Mortality increases were recorded in all regions, including Patagonia, where they were observed in two cities. Conclusions: The findings of this study will contribute to the development of more effective health promotion and protection policies.
