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 paper describes the role of operational meteorology from a single disciplinary standpoint through to multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and, more recently, transdisciplinary approaches and what this means for future forecasting systems. We start from the foundation of a single meteorological discipline: in this case, the forecasting of wind speed and direction that led to the creation of the first gale warning service in the wake of the 'Royal Charter Storm' in 1859. We build on this, giving further examples of where multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary methods have enhanced our understanding of observed meteorological and hydrometeorological phenomena from multiple perspectives, to produce a more holistic understanding of the effect of weather and climate on the 'whole of society'. An exemplar of this is the integration of meteorology and hydrology to create the UK's first hydrometeorological profession through the Flood Forecasting partnership between the Met Office and the Environment Agency. We end our discussion by exploring the move to a transdisciplinary approach through living labs: we believe this is vital to increase societal resilience to ever-more extreme weather events driven by anthropogenic warming.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue 'Hydrology in the 21st century: challenges in science, to policy and practice'.
