The neural thermostat malfunction: revisiting heatstroke through the lens of warm-sensitive neuron dysregulation.
Review in Frontiers in cellular neuroscience, 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
Rising global temperatures have turned heatstroke from a seasonal concern into a year-round public health crisis, yet its underlying neuropathological mechanisms remain elusive. Central to this problem are hypothalamic warm-sensitive neurons (WSNs), the master regulators that integrate central and peripheral thermal signals. This review synthesizes recent advances linking the molecular architecture of WSNs to heatstroke pathophysiology. Emerging evidence redefines WSNs not simply as temperature sensors, but as putative neuromodulatory hubs that may coordinate neuroinflammation, blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, and multi-organ failure through hypothesized neurotransmitter-cytokine crosstalk. By mapping the functional hierarchy of WSNs-from molecular thermoregulation to systemic control of thermoeffectors-this work proposes targeted neurotherapeutic strategies, offering a novel neural circuit-based framework for managing heatstroke.
