Library of rough hailstone backscattering coefficients at 2.8 GHz.
Article in Scientific data, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The rough hailstone scattering library is created to fill the need for results of non-spheroidal hailstone backscattering characteristics. The listed backscattering coefficients at the S-band (2.8 GHZ) are specifically tailored for computing the polarimetric variables. The National Weather Service's radar operates in this band; hence the library is pertinent to those studying hail in the USA. The library contains several axis ratios and a range of hail sizes from 5 mm to 100 mm. Moreover, hailstone surface roughness is expressed as a percentage of the equatorial diameter. Our computational electromagnetic approach to modeling hailstones is compared with typically employed simpler methods. The polarimetric variables calculated using our models can be compared to observations. Furthermore, we illustrate the potency of the CEM approach to hydrometeors with extreme axis ratios for which simpler methods (i.e., the T-matrix) fail.
