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

Sea level rise (SLR) affects coastal flood regimes and poses serious challenges to flood risk management, particularly on ungauged coasts. To address the challenge of monitoring SLR at local scales, we propose a high tide flood (HTF) thresholding system that leverages machine learning (ML) techniques to estimate SLR and HTF thresholds at a relatively fine spatial resolution (10 km) along the United States' coastlines. The proposed system, complementing conventional linear- and point-based estimations of HTF thresholds and SLR rates, can estimate these values at ungauged stretches of the coast. Trained and validated against National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) gauge data, our system demonstrates promising skills with an average Kling-Gupta Efficiency (KGE) of 0.77. The results can raise community awareness about SLR impacts by documenting the chronic signal of HTF and providing useful information for adaptation planning. The findings encourage further application of ML in achieving spatially distributed thresholds.
