Thermal amplification by large-footprint buildings in cold-climate cities: Implications for urban heat mitigation.
Article in Building and environment, 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
The optimal architectural paradigm for human settlements in cold climates remains actively debated, with large-footprint, low-rise buildings often promoted as protection against extreme environmental conditions. However, the broader impact of such developments on urban thermal anomalies in Arctic and sub-Arctic cities remains poorly quantified. This study evaluates the city-scale thermal influence of large low-rise structures classified as Local Climate Zone 8 (LCZ 8) in Fairbanks (USA), Tromsø (Norway), and Nadym (Russia), three high-latitude cities with contrasting urban morphologies. Using Landsat thermal infrared imagery, refined OpenStreetMap building footprints, and GIS-based spatial and statistical analyses, we show that expansive low-rise buildings (>10,000 m
