Body, mind, and weather: mechanisms of interaction - a narrative review.
Review in Postepy psychiatrii neurologii, 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
Purpose: This review investigates the extant literature concerning the association between meteorological conditions and the presentation of psychiatric and somatic symptoms. Particular attention was given to meteoropathy and meteosensitivity, as well as their proposed associations with affective disorders, psychotic disorders, and medically unexplained symptoms (MUS). Views: This review synthesizes findings from medical biometeorology, psychopathology, psychoneuroimmunology, and psychoendocrinology. The literature analyzed indicates that weather-related symptom patterns may involve dysregulation of the hypothalamic- pituitary-adrenal axis, a hypothesized seasonal modulation of Th1/Th2 immune responses, potential alterations in neurotransmitter activity, and disruptions in circadian rhythms. The immunoseasonal theory of psychiatric disorders posits an interaction between environmental factors and immune regulation in seeking to account for seasonal variations in mood and psychotic symptoms. However, evidence supporting these mechanisms remains limited and predominantly theoretical. The relationship between meteoropathy and MUS is also examined as a potential but unverified overlap of symptom patterns. Conclusions: The findings currently available suggest that weather-related phenomena may constitute an under-recognized factor influencing mental and physical health. Most reviewed data are derived from observational studies, often characterized by methodolo-gical limitations, inconsistent findings, and a lack of standardized diagnostic criteria. These gaps underscore the necessity for longitudinal research and the development of validated assessment tools that can elucidate causal relationships. A more comprehensive understanding of these processes could guide future investigations and eventually inform targeted diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, particularly in the context of meteoropathy.
