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

purpose of reviewThis scoping review aimed to map the scientific literature on mortality related to climate change and environmental manifestations in the Mediterranean region, explore the different methodological approaches used, identify research gaps, and suggest future research directions. This scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) recommendations and the Preferred Reporting Items for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). We included articles that examined the association between floods, wildfires, Saharan dust outbreaks, particulate matter (PM), urban heat islands (UHI), compound effects, and mortality. RECENT

findingsMost studies have been conducted in Euro-Mediterranean countries, with limited studies in the remaining Mediterranean countries. Regression analysis and descriptive designs predominated, while spatial and mixed-methods designs were less frequently used. Flood mortality rates were higher in northeastern Spain, southern France, and northern Italy. The primary cause of flood mortality was drowning, with a seasonal west-east gradient. Furthermore, lagged exposure to PM
