The trends and spatiotemporal variability of temperature and rainfall in
Article in Heliyon, 2024. 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
Ethiopia gets its agricultural water primarily from rainfall. This study was intended to investigate current climate variability and trends across space and time. Daily gridded temperature and rainfall data from 1993 to 2022 in the Hulbarag district, Silte Zone of Ethiopia was obtained from the Ethiopian National Metrological Institute and the Climate Hazard Group Infrared Precipitation with Station. The trends and variability of temperature and rainfall were analyzed using the Mann-Kendall trend test, Sen's slope, coefficient of variation, precipitation concentration index, and rainfall anomaly index. The results indicated that annual, spring, and summer rainfall revealed statistically significant decreasing trends at Hulbarag and Sankura stations, with the magnitude of -13.4, -11.6, and -10.6 mm per year and -6.8, -3.6 and -10.9 mm per year respectively. Conversely, autumn and winter season rainfall showed statistically significant increasing trends at Hulbarag and Sankura stations, with the magnitude of 5.1 and 5.5mm per year and 3.4 and 1.84mm per year consecutively. Between 43 % and 47 % of the observation periods had negative anomalies. The average yearly temperature, average yearly minimum temperature, and average yearly maximum temperatures at Sankura and Fonko stations all displayed statistically significant increasing trends, with a magnitude of 0.091 °C, 0.009 °C and 0.051 °C per year and 0.03 °C,0.01 °C and 0.0022 °C per year successively. It is advisable to develop a farming system that is climate-resilient by improving the adaptive capacity of wheat and maize-growing farmers by expanding the availability of early maturing seeds, changing crop calendars, and enhancing proactive and credible climate information services.
