Characteristics of river heatwaves in the Vistula River basin, Europe.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Rivers worldwide are warming due to the impact of climate change and human interventions. This study investigated river heatwaves in the Vistula River Basin, one of the largest river systems in Europe using long-term observed daily river water temperatures from the past 30 years (1991-2020). The results showed that river heatwaves are increased in frequency and intensity in the Vistula River Basin. The total number of river heatwaves showed clear increasing trend with an average rate of 1.400 times/decade, the duration of river heatwaves increased at an average rate of 14.506 days/decade, and the cumulative intensity of river heatwaves increased at an average rate of 53.169 °C/decade. The Mann-Kendall (MK) test was also employed, showing statistically significant increasing trends in the total number, duration, and intensity of heatwaves for all rivers, including the main watercourse of the Vistula River and its tributaries, with few exceptions. Air temperature is the major controller of river heatwaves for each hydrological station, and with the increase of air temperatures, river heatwaves will increase in frequency and intensity. Another impacting factor is flow, and with the increase of flow, river heatwaves tend to decrease in number, duration and intensity. The results suggested that mitigation measures shall be taken to reduce the effect of climate change on river systems.
