Post-hurricane related flooding and essential services interruptions, and their impact on the quality of life of women with gynecological cancer in Puerto Rico.
Article in The journal of climate change and health. 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
Introduction: Extreme weather poses threats to human health. Island communities are especially at risk of compounding disasters. This study assessed the prevalence of post-hurricane-related flooding and essential services disruptions among women with gynecological cancer in Puerto Rico and how these stressors impacted their quality of life (QoL). Methods: Interview-administered surveys to women with gynecological cancer ( Results: Participants' mean age was 58.9 years (SD±13.2), and 62.8% lived below the poverty level (<$20,000). After the hurricane, most participants reported service disruption of waste (57.1%) and debris (55.6%) collection, telecommunications (76.8%), water (85.9%) and electricity (100%). After adjusting for covariates and considering interaction terms, compared to the pre-hurricane period, individual hurricane-related stressors affected at least one health outcome in each QoL domain. Those who experienced compound stressors were more likely to report frequent mental distress (AOR:1.38, CI:1.07,1.80) and frequent activity limitations (AOR:1.55, CI:1.22, 1.98), compared with those who did not experience compounded stressors. Discussion: Addressing the impact of extreme weather events on health outcomes is vital for island communities. Immediate action and improvements in health services and public infrastructure are needed to support cancer care and mitigate the impact of hurricane-related disruptions on the QoL of cancer survivors.
