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

Yilan is the main agricultural production area of northern Taiwan, and most of the freshwater in this area is used for the irrigation of rice; however, this area lacks lakes and reservoirs for reserving and balancing supply and demand of surface water. Accordingly, the abundance of groundwater in Yilan plays a crucial role for water supplying. This case study aims to disclose the hidden and potential crisis ignored in Yilan area on its water resources by the water footprint (WF) approach, which consists of blue, green, and grey water-use components; meanwhile, three essential climatic factors temperature, rainfall, and sunshine hours are discussed for examining and identifying their influences. This study adaptively modified a top-down scheme initiated by Hoekstra and Hung 2002, Hoekstra 2003) to properly make estimations of the WF on the basis of current data situation and local condition of this case study area. The quantitative analysis results show that the total average order of magnitude of the WF of rice in Yilan was approximately estimated to around 8000 m
