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

The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) is a region comprised of 18 countries that are home to approximately 460 million people. This region spans across three continents and has been identified as a hotspot for climate change. As part of ongoing efforts to understand the potential impacts of climate change on public health in this part of the world, the scientific workshop "Climate and Health in the Urban Environment" was held on September 24-25, 2024, in the cities of Nicosia and Larnaca (Cyprus). The workshop brought together regional experts from diverse fields and aimed to assess emerging health risks, identify research gaps, and propose policy interventions with a focus on urban environments in the EMME region. Specific thematic sessions covered the topics of extreme temperatures, vector-borne diseases, and air quality. Here, we present a synthesis of the talks, discussions, and outcomes from the workshop, highlighting the latest findings on climate-related health risks in the EMME. Furthermore, we propose a series of recommendations for informing research and policy decisions in the region.
