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

Climate change has consistently been shown to result from human activity. The rise in average global temperature, driven by greenhouse gas emissions, has increased the frequency of extreme weather events such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, wildfires, and heat waves, as well as increasing airborne allergens and air pollution levels. These consequences have direct and indirect impacts on human health, particularly affecting individuals with cardiorespiratory disease. This review analyzed the main mechanisms whereby climate change impacts human health, with a focus on respiratory effects. Urgent mitigation efforts to reduce carbon emissions and prepare for extreme weather events are needed and must involve coordinated efforts across society. Physicians play a crucial role in communicating to patients how climate change affects health and in encouraging contributions to mitigation efforts by everyone.
