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 incidence of heat-related illnesses and heatstroke continues to rise amidst global warming. Hyperthermia triggers inflammation, coagulation, and progressive multiorgan dysfunction, and, at levels above 40 °C, can even lead to cell death. Blood cells, particularly granulocytes and platelets, are highly sensitive to heat, which promotes proinflammatory and procoagulant changes. Key factors in heatstroke pathophysiology involve mitochondrial thermal damage and excessive oxidative stress, which drive apoptosis and necrosis. While the kinetics of cellular damage from heat have been extensively studied, the mechanisms driving heat-induced organ damage and death are not yet fully understood. Converse to hyperthermia, hypothermia is generally protective, as seen in therapeutic hypothermia. However, accidental hypothermia presents another environmental threat due to arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and coagulopathy. From a cellular physiology perspective, hypothermia generally supports mitochondrial homeostasis and enhances cell preservation, aiding whole-body recovery following resuscitation. This review summarizes recent findings on temperature-related cellular damage and preservation and suggests future research directions for understanding the tempo-physiologic axis.
