Historical dataset of reservoir construction in arid regions.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Reservoirs are important for flood control, irrigation, and electricity generation, and the scarcity of water resources in arid areas makes the role of reservoirs even more important. We registered 669 reservoirs distributed in China's arid zones and supplemented the reservoir-related historical and socio-economic data, and the reservoir information completion degree in the dataset reached 98.53%. The study showed that the construction of reservoirs in China's arid zones can generally be divided into rapid growth, stable growth, and high-quality growth phases. According to the hydrological pattern of the arid zone, the spatial distribution of reservoirs in the arid zone overlaps strongly with the distribution of agricultural land and population, and the construction of reservoirs significantly affects socio-economic development. The historical and socio-economic dataset of reservoir construction in China's arid zones provides a scientific basis for solving the problems of reservoir construction and abandonment, reservoir optimality and scheduling, efficient use of regional water resources, ecological construction, and sustainable development.
