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

Documenting the uncertainty of climate change projections is a fundamental objective of the inter-comparison exercises organized to feed into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. Usually, each modeling center contributes to these exercises with one or two configurations of its climate model, corresponding to a particular choice of "free parameter" values, resulting from a long and often tedious "model tuning" phase. How much uncertainty is omitted by this selection and how might readers of IPCC reports and users of climate projections be misled by its omission? We show here how recent machine learning approaches can transform the way climate model tuning is approached, opening the way to a simultaneous acceleration of model improvement and parametric uncertainty quantification. We show how an automatic selection of model configurations defined by different values of free parameters can produce different "warming worlds," all consistent with present-day observations of the climate system.
