1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

GeoHealth is a rapidly growing, transdisciplinary field that integrates Earth and health sciences to understand the complex interactions between these domains. In 2017, the GeoHealth section of the American Geophysical Union and affiliated journal were established and both have grown rapidly since. Despite this growth, the field faces current and foreseeable challenges in translating scientific insights into action, including fragmented data infrastructure, funding gaps, and an evolving policy landscape. This commentary piece advocates for a GeoHealth Decadal Survey, a consensus-driven report to identify priority research questions, guide workforce development, build community consensus, and inform strategic investments over the next decade.
