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

Continuous time-series of land cover is critical for attributing runoff, sediment and carbon changes on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). However, current land cover products with annal temporal resolution lack spatial identification accuracy, particularly in capturing authentic changes of cropland, forest and grassland. To address these issues, a 30 m annual land cover dataset was proposed by the Yellow River Conservancy Commission (YRCC_LPLC) for the CLP from 1990 to 2022. Different levels of land cover were classified using different combinations of spectral, monthly and annual temporal and topographic features and Random Forest classifier. Compared to other land cover products (45.64%-73.38%), the accuracy of YRCC_LPLC has a better performance with an overall accuracy of 85.16%. The YRCC_LPLC is capable of capturing not only the explicit spatial variation but also the change direction and change time of land cover, especially for the most critical conversion of cropland into forest and grassland induced by implementation of Grain to Green Program on the CLP.
