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 Yangtze River-Dongting Lake link has gotten a lot of attention as a because of the Three Gorges Project. However, the hydrological dynamic process and future direction of the river-lake interaction in the context of sediment reduction are yet unknown. Based on Dongting Lake Basin runoff and sediment data from 1961 to 2020, as well as field monitoring data of turbidity and flow velocity from Yichang to Chenglingji section of the Yangtze River, this paper examines the runoff and sediment variation law and hydrological dynamic process of Chenglingji, the only outlet connecting Dongting Lake to the Yangtze River, and reveals the development trend of the river-lake relationship. After absorbing high-concentration material from Dongting Lake, Chenglingji's turbidity and energy per unit water body alter dramatically. When the high-speed flow from the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the gentle flow of Dongting Lake pass through the "deep trough" of Chenglingji, the two streams of high and low flow velocity intersect and decelerate to dissipate energy, and the flow structure becomes more complicated. Dongting Lake has experienced three stages: deposition (1961-2007) -erosion (2008-2017) -deposition (2018-2020). The river-lake relationship will tend to a new dynamic equilibrium state in the future.
