Association between ambient temperature and respiratory health.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 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
Background: Climate change has increased temperature variability, impacting respiratory health. While the data related to its short-term effects on lung function is conflicting, its long-term effects remain even more uncertain. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the short-, mid-, and long-term effects of ambient temperature on lung function and respiratory symptoms in a nationally representative population. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 10,819 participants from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) [2016-2018]. Individualised temperature exposures were estimated using high-resolution atmospheric models. Generalised additive model (GAM) and distributed lag non-linear model (DLNM) were used to assess the short-term (lag days 0-14), mid-term [moving average (MA): 30-180 days], and long-term (MA: 1-5 years) effects on lung function. Results: Short-term exposure to high temperature (29.7 ℃) was associated with decreased forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV Conclusions: Short- and long-term heat exposure were associated with impaired lung function, with more pronounced effects observed at higher temperatures.
