Engagement with health in the climate reports of top corporations.

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: Climate change threatens health and wellbeing globally, requiring the combined attention of multiple societal actors. To assess corporate participation, this study's objective was to quantify engagement with health in publicly available corporate climate reports in Australia. Methods: Climate reports from Australia's top 500 corporations as determined in September 2023 were obtained in September 2023-April 2024 from their websites or replies to email requests. Content analysis was used to locate and quantify health and other words within the reports. The characteristics of corporations with climate reports were compared to those without climate reports in terms of market capitalisation, sector, emissions reduction, and country of incorporation. Results: Among the top 500 corporations, 51 (10.2 %) had standalone climate reports available by April 2024. Climate reports were predominately found for larger corporations and those with the highest emissions per million AUD market capitalisation. The sector with the greatest proportion of climate reports was the utilities sector (62.5 %). Companies without and with climate reports had a non-significant difference in median absolute change in tonnes of CO Conclusion: While a relatively small percentage of top Australian companies, representing a range of sectors, had standalone climate reports in 2023-2024, health impacts and adaptation to reduce these impacts are acknowledged and discussed in most of these climate reports.
