Climatic determinants impacting the distribution of greenness in China: regional differentiation and spatial variability.

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
This study investigated climatic determinants for regional greenness in China and spatially variable correlations between climatic determinants and vegetation in specific regions using the geographical detector and geographically weighted regression (GWR) methodologies. The analyses were based on normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and interpolations of climatic determinants from 652 Chinese meteorological stations. The study period (1982-2013) was divided into two stages (T1-T2) before and after the inflection year identified by the accumulative anomaly of NDVI. Three typical regions (R1-R3) were then selected according to the same NDVI variation trend as China in the two periods. Precipitation was the dominant climatic factor of NDVI in China, and the effect of temperature on greenness increased with warming from T1 to T2. In a relatively arid region (R1), the effect of precipitation in T2 was further strengthened compared to T1. Meanwhile, the effect of minimum temperature in T2 also increased compared with T1 in a relatively humid region (R2), becoming the major climatic determinant. In addition to the regional differentiation, spatial variability was investigated by comparing normalized coefficients of GWR for climatic determinants; this showed significant spatial heterogeneity within each region. Temperature impact areas also existed within precipitation-dominated regions (R1 and R3), where areas of precipitation impact expanded from T1 to T2. Furthermore, regression coefficients between NDVI dynamics and climate variability revealed relationships between regional differentiation and spatial variability. For example, the increasing precipitation rate could mediate the adverse impacts on greenness caused by the higher warming rate in relatively arid regions (R1).
