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

The availability and transport of water resources across the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), a water tower in Asia, is vital in affecting downstream region. Significant climate warming has altered the water balance of QTP and influenced downstream water resources, and the dynamics of water resources and its key influencing factors remain unknown in this region. To deepen our understanding of water resource status over the QTP, here we comprehensively summarized the variations in precipitation and water resources (glaciers, lakes, runoff and terrestrial water storage) in the past few decades by integrating long-term multi-source remote sensing and monitoring data. Annual precipitation displayed a significant increase over the QTP from 1961 to 2023 (4.3 mm per decade; P < 0.05). The decrease of glacial area was the dominant trend on the QTP from 1976 to 2024, and the decline rate has reached 58.37%. The area of lakes increased from 960 km
