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

Healthcare systems are increasingly committing to climate action, yet efforts to reduce their environmental footprint raise operational challenges. Decarbonization initiatives can generate concerns about cost, patient safety, care quality, and equitable access, revealing tensions that complicate implementation. This study examines how experts assess the impact and feasibility of climate-related interventions in healthcare, identifying key challenges and enablers. Using a Real-time Delphi approach, we consulted 14 specialists with ethics, sustainability, biomedical sciences, and public health backgrounds, who evaluated the relevance and applicability of five
