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
Rivers play a key role in the water cycle on the earth via integrating all hydrological channels to return terrestrial precipitations back to the oceans. In addition, rivers, together with groundwater, are powerful transformers of the surface lithosphere, responsible for chemical weathering of rocks and the removal of solute into the ocean. Tracing the dynamics of surface water and groundwater versus atmospheric feeding of rivers presents important issues in Arctic regions due to the ongoing change of the structure of hydrological runoff. In this study, stable water isotopes were used to reveal the temporal dynamics of water sources and to predict their possible change under the conditions of ongoing climate warming of the largest European Arctic river, the Severnaya Dvina, and adjacent groundwater. The isotopic composition of the river waters of the studied region is formed by the mixing of atmospheric precipitation with groundwater. The isotopic depletion in the springtime is mainly due to the recharge of thawed snow waters. A less pronounced effect in the autumn-winter period is provided by the discharge of groundwater into rivers, including the meltwater of the Last Glacial Period. This depletion is partially offset due to discharge of isotopically light thawed snow waters and is linked to evaporation in headwater streams, reservoirs, and wetlands. The isotopic composition of groundwater with low mineralization was formed throughout the Holocene and to a large extent depends on paleoclimatic conditions in the study area. In addition to fresh groundwater, brackish groundwater also takes part in the river's recharge. These brackish waters are associated with ancient and modern marine transgressions on the estuarine site and with the dissolution of Ca sulfate rocks in a karst region located in the middle reaches of the river. According to isotope data, the average annual input of the underground source to the total river flow is 25%. The results of this work will serve as the basis for continuing monitoring of the isotopic composition of river waters with an assessment of hydrological processes and observation of short as well as long-term climatic and anthropogenic impacts.
