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

Water vapour flows in the atmosphere are fundamental to the hydrological cycle, linking evaporation sources to precipitation sinks. Recent atmospheric tracking models have provided valuable insights, allowing one to trace the sources of precipitation and determine where evaporated water from specific regions will eventually precipitate. Despite improvements in model accuracy, there remain significant discrepancies between reconstructed and observed evaporation and precipitation data from reanalysis. To address these discrepancies and enhance the reliability of tracking models' estimates, we propose a procedure based on Iterative Proportional Fitting (IPF). Using this approach, we reconcile atmospheric moisture flows reconstructed by the Lagrangian model UTrack with ERA5 reanalysis data. This ensures that the traced atmospheric water matches the total evaporation and the precipitation annually. The reconciled bilateral connections provide a new dataset (RECON) centred on the period 2008-2017 that facilitates the exploration of atmospheric vapour flows between evaporation and precipitation basins at the global scale with a spatial resolution of 0.5°. Further, the proposed framework applies to any cell-scale dataset of atmospheric moisture tracking.
