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

Herein, we conducted a study of the Zhangsanxi karst groundwater system in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province, China, and used the results to develop a method for identifying the aquifer medium and its structural characteristics. To begin, rainfall, underground river flow dynamics, and groundwater level dynamics in the Zhangsanxi karst groundwater system were subjected to high-resolution monitoring to elucidate the groundwater system's rainfall-hydrological response characteristics under varying rainfall amounts and intensities. Next, an exponential attenuation curve was employed to analyze how the law of attenuation applies to underground river discharge and groundwater level during a typical rainfall event. Finally, we determined the degree of karst development at different depths, so the data can serve as a reference for local decision makers regarding karst water disaster prevention and water resource utilization. The results show that the flow response lag time in the karst groundwater system depicts good correlation with the rainfall amount but is also affected by the rainfall intensity. Thus, under conditions of identical rainfall, increasing rainfall intensity corresponds to a progressively shorter underground river flow lag time. The area's rainfall can be divided into four types, based on its concentration and intensity characteristics. The underground river flow generally has no evident response to type I rainfall, while the flow response lag time to types II III and IV rainfall is approximately 110, 60, and 40 h, respectively. Furthermore, the Zhangsanxi karst system's water-bearing medium is dominated by karst fissures and pores, which account for about 2/3 of its open space. Large karst conduits and caves account for the remaining 1/3. The degree of karst development in this system depicts evident depth variation but, overall, tends to increase as a function of burial depth.Responsible editor: Xianliang Yi.
