A Revisit of Large-Scale Patterns in Middle Stratospheric Circulation Variations.
Article in Entropy (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Variations in stratospheric atmospheric circulation significantly impact tropospheric weather and climate. Understanding these variations not only aids in better prediction of tropospheric weather and climate but also provides guidance for the development and flight trajectories of stratospheric aircraft. Our understanding of the stratosphere has made remarkable progress over the past 100 years. However, we still lack a comprehensive perspective on large-scale patterns in stratospheric circulation, as the stratosphere is a typical complex system. To address this gap, we employed the eigen microstate approach (EMA) to revisit the characteristics of zonal wind from 70-10 hPa from 1980 to 2022, based on ERA5 reanalysis data. Our analysis focused on the three leading modes, corresponding to variations in the strength of the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) and the stratospheric atmospheric circulations in the Arctic and Antarctic, respectively. After filtering out high-frequency components from the temporal evolutions of these modes, a significant 11-year cycle was observed in the Antarctic stratospheric atmospheric circulation mode, potentially linked to the 11-year solar cycle. In contrast, the Arctic stratospheric atmospheric circulation mode showed a 5-6-year cycle without evidence of an 11-year periodicity. This difference is likely due to the timing of polar vortex breakdowns: the Antarctic polar vortex breaks up later, experiencing its greatest variability in late spring and early summer, making it more susceptible to solar radiation effects, unlike the Arctic polar vortex, which peaks in winter and early spring. The fourth mode exhibits characteristics of a Southern Hemisphere dipole and shows a significant correlation with the Antarctic stratospheric atmospheric circulation mode, leading it by about two months. We designed a linear prediction model that successfully demonstrated its predictive capability for the Antarctic polar vortex.
