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

Iran is experiencing an escalating freshwater crisis due to factors such as population growth, drought, and inadequate water resource management. Atmospheric water, which is six times the volume of all global rivers, presents an untapped potential. This study assesses Iran's potential for fog water harvesting (FWH) by analyzing atmospheric conditions-including relative humidity, fog density, and frequency-along with technical feasibility and a cost-benefit analysis. Data from 120 synoptic stations identified regions with high fog water potential, notably the southern areas, exhibiting yields up to 65 L/m
