# [Poster title: the main finding in one line]

> Research poster drafted in Markdown: a title that states the finding, a
> one-sentence take-home message, short background, methods, results and
> conclusion panels, a figure plan, references and contact details. Draft
> and cut the text here, then lay it out in your poster software or export
> it. Based on common academic practice; the conference's poster
> instructions (size, orientation, required logos and disclosures) always
> take precedence. Replace every `[bracketed]` value and every passage
> marked *Example*.

<!--
Guidance: How to use this template
- Copy the size, orientation and any required elements from the
  conference instructions into the table below before you start.
- A poster is read from 2 metres in under a minute. Aim for 300 to 800
  words in total, and let one figure carry the main result.
- Write the take-home message first. Every panel should support it; cut
  anything that does not.
- Keep the headings short and in reading order (left to right, top to
  bottom in columns).
- Related templates: Conference Abstract (`academic/conference-abstract`),
  Research Paper (IMRaD) (`academic/research-paper-imrad`), Results
  Reporting (`academic/stats-results-reporting`).

## Take-home message

<!-- Guidance: One sentence, large type, at the top or centre. It should make sense to someone who reads nothing else. -->

[*Example:* Emergency visits by adults aged 75 and over rose by 12% on each
day above the local heat threshold; younger adults showed no clear rise.]

## Background

<!-- Guidance: Two or three short sentences or bullets: the problem, the gap, the aim. About 10% of the words. -->

- [*Example:* Heat waves increase emergency department demand, but it is
  unclear which patients drive the increase.]
- [*Example:* Aim: estimate the change in daily visits by age group on days
  above the local heat threshold.]

## Methods

<!-- Guidance: Design, setting, participants, exposure or intervention, outcome and analysis, as bullets or a small flow diagram. About 20% of the words. -->

- [*Example:* Time-series study, two hospitals in the fictional city of
  Harbourton, 1,096 days.]
- [*Example:* Exposure: daily maximum temperature above the local
  threshold. Outcome: daily emergency visits by age group.]
- [*Example:* Quasi-Poisson time-series regression of daily counts,
  adjusted for season, day of week and public holidays.]

## Results

<!-- Guidance: The largest panel, about 40% of the space. Lead with the main figure and a one-line caption that states the result. Give effect sizes with confidence intervals, not only p values. -->

**Figure 1.** [*Example:* Rate ratio of daily emergency visits on days
above the heat threshold, by age group. Adults 75 and over: 1.12 (95% CI
1.07 to 1.17).]

| Age group | Rate ratio | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|
| 18-64 *(Example)* | 1.01 | 0.97 to 1.05 |
| 65-74 *(Example)* | 1.04 | 0.99 to 1.09 |
| 75+ *(Example)* | 1.12 | 1.07 to 1.17 |

## Conclusion

<!-- Guidance: Two or three bullets: what the result means, the main limitation, and what comes next. -->

- [*Example:* Heat-health warnings could prioritise adults aged 75 and over.]
- [*Example:* Limitation: two hospitals in one city.]
- [*Example:* Next: a trial of targeted text-message warnings.]

## References and contact

<!-- Guidance: Three to five references in small type, or a QR code to the full list or preprint. Check the QR link works and points to a page you control. -->
