Read the status as well as the title.
Bibliographic verification checks a source's identity against its indexed record and DOI information where available. It does not establish that a paper's conclusions are correct or that all of its contents have been read. The separate review scope describes the material actually examined.
Included source records in the current research foundation have abstract-level appraisals unless explicitly stated otherwise. A candidate or excluded record is not an approved citation. An inaccessible detail, unresolved number, or failed identity check is kept out of the citable set until the relevant problem is resolved.
A paper belongs to a wider question.
Individual papers can be read through their original publisher or indexed links. Compare the population, exposure, comparator, outcome, and uncertainty rather than selecting a conclusion from its title alone. Related papers may reuse participants or examine different forms of heat exposure.
The index is a working editorial bibliography for the current edition, not an exhaustive systematic review or a recommendation to copy a study protocol. Its purpose is to make the source trail inspectable. The research summaries and evidence methodology explain how a paper contributes to a broader conclusion.
171 included publication records. Several publications share participants; this is not a count of independent experiments. Reviews are abstract-level unless a record states otherwise.
