Excess risk of heat-related hospitalization associated with temperature and PM
Article in Environmental epidemiology (Philadelphia, Pa.), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: With rising temperatures and an aging population, understanding how to prevent heat-related illness among older adults will be increasingly crucial. Despite biological plausibility, no study to date has investigated how exposure to fine particulate matter air pollution (PM Methods: We identified Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries in the contiguous United States who experienced a heat-related hospitalization between 2008 and 2016. Using a case-crossover design and fitting Bayesian conditional logistic regression models, we characterized the associations of temperature and PM Results: We observed 112,969 heat-related hospitalizations among 29,345,820 Medicare beneficiaries in the study sample. Fixing PM Conclusions: Our study is the first to observe synergism between temperature and PM
