Impacts of urban land-use change on land-surface heat exposure risk: spatial evidence from multi-source remote sensing in Zhejiang Province.
Article in Frontiers in public health, 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
Rapid urbanization can intensify land-surface heat exposure by replacing natural surfaces with impervious materials, yet the thermal effects of specific land-cover transitions remain insufficiently understood. We integrated land-cover data for 2000, 2010, and 2020 with summer daytime land surface temperature (LST) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data for 2001, 2010, and 2020 to examine land-use change and LST-derived heat exposure across Zhejiang Province, China. Land-cover transition analysis, historical percentile-based heat-exposure identification, and regression models were applied. From 2000 to 2020, impervious surfaces expanded by 137.94%, with cropland accounting for 86.10% of newly added impervious surfaces. Mean summer daytime LST increased from 28.59 to 30.47 °C, while the 95th percentile increased from 31.45 to 36.09 °C. Newly added impervious surfaces exhibited the greatest warming (4.57 °C) and highest heat-exposure ratio (90.36%), whereas stable forestland showed the lowest warming (1.18 °C) and exposure ratio (9.24%). At the prefecture level, newly added impervious surfaces were positively associated with heat exposure (
