Climate-induced changes in streamflow and nitrogen loading to Long Island Sound.

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
Climate-induced changes in streamflow and nutrient loading have important implications for estuarine water quality. We present an empirical approach for estimating changes in the magnitude, timing, and duration of streamflow based on statistically downscaled projections from global climate models. Two generalized additive models (GAMs) fitted using precipitation (Pr) as a predictor and either mean air temperature (Pr + T) or potential evapotranspiration (Pr + ET) produced similar estimates of daily streamflow for 2003-2016. However, projected changes in streamflow for 2030-2050 differed between models, which suggests that T should not be used to represent climate-induced changes in evaporative demand. For the Pr + ET model, streamflow increased between past and future periods during February-May (28.6 %) and July-September (12.0 %) and decreased during October-January (24.8 %). Projected changes in mean annual streamflow varied between -14.4 and 8.69 % across drainage basins. For the Connecticut River basin, the largest and most inland basin in the Long Island Sound (LIS) watershed, annual streamflow decreased by 12.6 %. Total nitrogen (TN) loading from the Connecticut River would decrease by approximately 10 % due to decreased streamflow. Although TN loading from near-coastal basins would increase by 5.23 ± 5.66 %, future TN riverine loads to LIS are 7.43 ± 9.01 × 10
