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

The frequency and severity of drought events have increased with climate warming. This poses a significant threat to tree growth and survival worldwide. However, the underlying mechanism of tree growth responses to drought across diverse geographic regions and species remains inconclusive. Here, we used 2808 tree ring width chronologies of 32 species from 1951 to 2020 to examine the relationships between growth rates and resistance and recovery of trees in response to drought in the Northern Hemisphere. We found that trees with fast growth rates exhibited lower drought resistance but higher drought recovery compared to those with slow growth rates, which was further corroborated by the trade-off between resistance and recovery in response to variations in leaf photosynthetic traits. The difference in growth rates also well explained the large variability in the drought resistance and recovery for different geographic regions, as well as for species from different clades and successional stages. Our study provides a conclusive and uniform perspective that tree growth rate regulates drought resistance and recovery, shedding light on the diverse strategies employed by tree species in response to drought stress in the Northern Hemisphere.
