1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Heat is an increasingly defining characteristic of life in diverse regions globally, contributing to more human mortality than any other climate-related weather. As a spatio-temporal phenomena that is at once physical and meteorological, as well as environmental, social, technical, cultural, embodied, and political, geographers have much to contribute towards understanding heat and its differential impacts. However, critical geographical research on heat is relatively disparate. This paper reviews existing perspectives encompassing inequalities and vulnerabilities; governance and violence; infrastructure and labor; cultures and practices; and atmospheres and attunements. We argue that critical (human) geography should foreground heat, and its complex materiality.
