Climate Change: A National Survey on Viewpoints of Italian Epilepsy-Care Professionals.
Article in European journal of neurology, 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
objectiveTo assess awareness, attitudes, and preparedness among Italian epilepsy-care professionals regarding the impact of climate change on epilepsy management.
methodsWe conducted a national, anonymous Italian-language online survey distributed through professional networks and scientific societies (LICE, SNO). The questionnaire included Likert-scale items, closed-ended responses were summarized descriptively.
resultsWe collected 167 responses from a heterogeneous sample by professional role and geographical area. All respondents acknowledged that global warming is occurring; 100% rated its impact on future generations as moderate-to-severe, and 84.3% reported moderate-to-severe concern for their patients. Support was high for continuing professional education on climate and health (99.4%), patient educational materials (88.6%), and workplace sustainability guidelines (97%). Individual mitigation actions were common (e.g., 93.3% reported recycling more frequently), whereas institutional initiatives were less consistently reported (e.g., 46.1% reported telemedicine use and 42.6% reported no transportation-related initiatives).
conclusionsItalian epilepsy-care professionals demonstrate high awareness and concern regarding climate change and its impact on patients. While support for education and sustainability initiatives is strong, translation into institutional and research practices remains limited, highlighting the need for targeted policies and infrastructure.
