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 research focuses on modelling the surface water potential using Arc SWAT and Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) for selecting the potential hydropower sites in the Megecha watershed. The tenure for stream flow and meteorological data used for SWAT model simulation is from 1990 to 2019 and 1988-2019 respectively. Geospatial method is used to generate gross head and respective potential hydropower. Multi criteria decision method is adopted to select the best site for hydropower generation. Curve number (CN2), saturated hydraulic conductivity (SOL_K), moist bulk density (SOL_BD), and available moisture in the soil layer (SOL_AWC) were among the most sensitive parameters assessed during the research. The performance of SWAT model obtained for R
