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 acceleration of climate change poses a growing threat to human health, particularly by exacerbating non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. Rising global temperatures amplify air pollution and environmental toxins, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. This narrative review explores the complex pathways linking climate-related environmental stressors to adverse health outcomes, focusing on the intermediary roles of epigenetic modifications and alterations in the microbiota. Epigenetic processes, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, may mediate how environmental exposures influence gene expression and disease susceptibility. Concurrently, changes in microbiota composition induced by pollutants and temperature fluctuations can promote inflammatory responses and immune dysfunction. Elucidating these molecular mechanisms is essential for developing targeted interventions and adaptive strategies to mitigate the health impacts of climate change. This review underscores the importance of identifying epigenetic and microbiota-based biomarkers for early risk stratification and for informing public health prevention and adaptation policies. A transdisciplinary approach, grounded in the One Health framework, is critical to addressing the growing burden of climate-sensitive diseases and reducing health inequalities.
