Comprehensive framework for interpretation of WaPOR water productivity.
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
This study presents a comprehensive framework for analyzing water productivity products provided by the FAO Water Productivity Open-access portal (WaPOR), focusing on various crops cultivated in both rainfed and irrigated areas within a semi-arid basin in Iran. Two indices, namely Gross Water Productivity (GWP) and Net Water Productivity (NWP), were introduced to quantify water productivity across crop fields. However, these indices may mislead decision-makers, because they aggregate water productivity for all crops and exacerbate the challenges posed by water scarcity. Therefore, mapping crop types seems necessary to enhance the interpretation of these indices and develop a dimensionless index for comparing different crops. The results demonstrated a fundamental change when comparing dimensionless water productivity with GWP and NWP products. Surprisingly, some pixels initially exhibiting high water productivity ranked as low water-productive pixels based on the derived dimensionless index, and vice versa. Based on dimensionless indicators, rainfed crops, particularly rainfed cereals, ranked as the most water-productive crops. The areas with dimensionless values below 0.5 warrant heightened attention to curtail non-beneficial water consumption and elevate water productivity. This research emphasizes the significance of mapping cultivation types as supplementary layers to facilitate precise, data-driven decision-making and enable comparisons of crops based on dimensionless water productivity indices.
