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

To mark the 40th anniversary of the British Hydrological Society, a landmark Discussion Meeting was held at the Royal Society in June 2024, bringing together a transdisciplinary community, including hydrologists, policymakers and practitioners, to reflect on four decades of progress and chart future directions for hydrology. This special issue presents a collection of papers from that meeting, addressing advances in data, modelling, forecasting and decision-making in the context of intensifying climate and hydrological extremes. Key themes include the need for open, reproducible science, greater integration of machine learning, AI and convection-permitting models and a shift towards transdisciplinary, co-produced knowledge that better supports adaptation, resilience and policy impact. The issue highlights the critical roles of education, collaboration and equity in shaping a hydrology that is not only technically advanced but socially and environmentally responsive to the challenges of the 21st century.This article is part of the discussion meeting issue 'Hydrology in the 21st century: challenges in science, to policy and practice'.
