The ADAPT-HEAT Study: A Multi-Method Approach to Develop Recommendations for Drug Safety During Hot Weather (The CALOR List)-Study Protocol.
Article in Methods and protocols, 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
Certain medications may adversely affect health during hot days and heatwaves by altering chronic conditions, comorbidities, fluid balance, or impairing heat adaptation. This study aims to develop evidence-based cross-sectoral recommendations for the safe administration of heat-sensitive medications, compiled into a so-called 'CALOR' list (calor: Latin for 'heat'). Development of the CALOR list will follow a four-pillar process. First, a scoping review of scientific literature and best practices will identify potentially inadequate medications during heat events (heat-PIMs) and adaptation measures, resulting in a first draft. Second, an expert panel will refine this draft through a Delphi process to reach consensus on clinically relevant recommendations. Third, German statutory health insurance (SHI) claims data will be analysed to determine heat-PIMs prevalence; data from Cologne residents will additionally be linked with climate data to investigate health outcomes during heat events. Fourth, thirty health professionals (i.e., medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists) will field-test the CALOR list in summer, providing qualitative feedback on feasibility, leading to further refinement of the CALOR list. To our knowledge this study protocol presents the first study attempting to collate a comprehensive and actionable list of recommendations for drug safety management during hot days and heatwaves.
