Tropical cyclone exposure and risk of adverse birth outcomes in urban and rural areas of Georgia.
Article in Environmental research communications, 2026. 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
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are highly destructive weather disasters. Prior studies of TCs and birth outcomes often examined single storms or single TC characteristics (e.g. maximum wind speed) and rarely assessed urban/rural differences. To better understand TC impacts on perinatal health, we evaluated associations between multiple TC exposure metrics and several adverse birth outcomes and considered urban-rural variations. We conducted a population-based time series analysis of 2436 478 singleton births in Georgia from 2000-2018, in which individual-level state birth records were aggregated to the county-week level and linked to weekly, county-level TC data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. TC exposure metrics included maximum sustained wind speed (>17, 22, 25 m s
