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
Large-scale climate indicators (LSCI) refer to the intricate connections between the atmosphere, oceans, and continents in specific regions. To comprehend the relationship between these vital indicators and atmospheric and climate variability, it is crucial to explore them in detail. The objective of the present study is to gather and review relevant research on LSCI in the Mediterranean area to gain a better understanding of their impacts on atmospheric variability, climate, air quality, ecosystems, and health in the region. Numerous studies have explored LSCI and their effects in the study area, and our work aims to contribute to the existing literature in this context. Our study concludes that LSCI are linked to spatial atmospheric variability in the Mediterranean region. They influence the spatial and temporal distribution of climate and environmental variability, including temperature, rainfall, extreme events, cyclones and storms, and air pollution. Some studies have demonstrated the effects of LSCI on ecosystems, such as forests and river basins in the region. However, research on their impacts on human health is limited. Additionally, the application of LSCI involves various formulations and explanations of their potential developments, primarily explaining atmospheric complex systems and the effort required to comprehend their implications for the environment and health. This review highlights recent progress made in defining, formulating, and calculating LSCI in the Mediterranean area. The most critical functions and characteristics of LSCI are also discussed. Understanding LSCI and their applications is the first step towards developing a health warning system, starting with monitoring atmospheric dynamics and culminating in managing human health responses.
