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

Extreme heat is intensifying under climate change, yet evidence on regional and temporal variation in heat-related morbidity remains limited. Here we analyzed over 100 million emergency department (ED) visits across five countries and territories from 2000 to 2019 using a time-stratified case-crossover design to quantify associations between summer temperature and acute healthcare demand. Here we show that higher summer temperatures are associated with increased risks of ED visits across all study regions. At the 95
