An improved deep learning procedure for statistical downscaling of climate data.
Article in Heliyon, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Recent climate change (CC) scenarios from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) have just been released in coarse resolution. Deep learning (DL) based on statistical downscaling has recently been used, but more research is needed, particularly in arid regions, because little is known about their suitability for extrapolating future CC scenarios. Here we analyzed this issue by downscaling maximum, and minimum temperature over the Egyptian domain based on one General Circulation Model (GCM) as CanESM5 and two shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs) as SSP4.5 and SSP8.5 from CMIP6 using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) herein after called CNNSD. The downscaled maximum and minimum temperatures based CNNSD was able to reproduce the observed climate over historical and future periods at a finer resolution (0.1°), reducing the biases exhibited by the original scenario. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time CNN has been used to downscale CMIP6 scenarios, particularly in arid regions. The downscaled analysis showed that maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to rise by 4.8 °C and 4.0 °C, respectively, in the future (2015-2100), compared to the historical period, under the moderate scenario (SSP4.5). Meanwhile, under the Fossil-fueled Development scenario (SSP8.5), these values will rise by 6.3 °C and 4.2 °C, respectively as analyzed by the CNNSD. The developed approach could be used not only in Egypt but also in other developing countries, which are especially vulnerable to climate change and has a scarcity of related research. The established downscaled approach's supply can be used to provide climate services, as a driver for impact studies and adaptation decisions, and as information for policy development. More research is needed, however, to include multi-GCMs to quantify the uncertainties between GCMs and SSPs, improving the outputs for use in climate change impacts and adaptations for food and nutrition security.
