Analyzing the cyclical impact of sunspot activity and ENSO on precipitation patterns in Gilan province: a wavelet-based approach.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study examines the influence of large-scale climatic phenomena-sunspot activity (SSN) and the El Niño-Southern oscillation (ENSO), represented by the Southern oscillation index (SOI) on precipitation, temperature, and dew point patterns in Gilan province, Iran. Using wavelet signal analysis, including continuous wavelet transforms (CWT), cross-wavelet transforms (XWT), wavelet coherence (WTC), and time-lag correlation analysis (TLCA), the research investigates temporal and frequency-domain relationships between these factors and regional climatic variables. A 73-year dataset (1951-2023) reveals cyclical patterns in SSN and SOI, correlating with significant 10-year periodicities in precipitation trends. The study further reveals ENSO and SSN's influence on long-term temperature and dew point fluctuations. While sunspot activity and ENSO both modulate climate variability, the study's scope is limited to Gilan province and excludes other atmospheric drivers or anthropogenic influences, which may also affect local hydrology. The findings suggest integrating solar and climatic indices into predictive models could improve long-term climate forecasts, supporting water resource management in this climate-sensitive region. This research provides novel insights for policymakers to address water-related challenges amid climatic variability by applying advanced wavelet methods to analyze multi-decadal interactions.
