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

Documenting long-term snow cover changes at high spatial resolution is especially challenging in mountain environments due to limited high-elevation ground observations and the coarse resolution of current climate models. This paper presents a dataset of snow melt-out dates (SMOD) at 30-m spatial resolution for two periods-the 1990s (1985-1996) and the 2010s (2011-2022)-across temperate European mountain ranges (Pyrenees, European Alps, and Greater Caucasus), derived from Landsat time series. To address the limited number of observations in the Landsat archive, data were aggregated over 12-year periods, enabling assessment of SMOD changes over four decades at a spatial resolution relevant to above-treeline ecosystems. The SMOD dataset was validated using snow depth station records (R
