Assessing climate change preparedness in hospitals and nursing homes in Hesse, Germany.
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: Vulnerable groups are particularly affected by climate change. The healthcare sector is responsible for approximately 6% of the greenhouse gas emissions in Germany. It remains unclear to what extent hospitals and nursing homes in Germany have already implemented climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Materials and methods: The study was conducted in the predominantly rural Marburg-Fulda region of Hesse, Germany, which has a population of 2,028,359. A total of 91 of the 300 nursing homes (30%) and seven of the 32 hospitals (22%) from this region participated in a semi-standardized telephone survey. Data were collected between January 28, 2025, and July 31, 2025. Data were first analyzed descriptively. In the next step, the Fisher‒Freeman‒Halton test was used to identify correlations between institutional characteristics and various climate mitigation and adaptation measures. Results: Nursing home size was positively correlated with the presence of climate mitigation guidelines ( Conclusion: Hospitals and nursing homes in the Marburg-Fulda region are not yet climate-resilient. Implementing such measures often fails because of a lack of resources. To create a climate-resilient healthcare system, targeted financial and structural support is needed from policymakers.
