Effects of a marine heatwave associated with the Kuroshio Extension large meander on extreme precipitation in September 2023.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In 2023, the Kuroshio Extension (KE) exhibited an unusually large meander (LM) path, which caused a significant increase in sea surface temperatures, a marine heatwave (MHW), to the east of Japan. Although this MHW has the potential to influence heavy precipitation, it has not yet been examined. Here, we address this issue by examining an extreme precipitation event that occurred in Japan in September 2023 using high-resolution cloud-resolving numerical experiments. Results indicated that the MHW contributed to an increase in surface precipitation by ~ 300 mm, accounting for ~ 70% of the total precipitation. This precipitation intensification was attributed to the MHW-enhanced atmospheric instability and its influence on the formation and positioning of surface fronts. This research suggests that the KE-LM-induced MHW has elevated the risk of heavy precipitation in Japan, with significant societal implications. These findings could be applied to other regions such as the Northeastern United States.
