Extreme Rainfall Contribution and Isotopic Excursion of Tropical Storm Alberto in Northeastern Mexico.
Article in Rapid communications in mass spectrometry : RCM, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
rationaleTropical cyclones are critical extreme rainfall events that can temporarily mitigate drought impacts in semiarid regions. Despite the well-known North Atlantic hurricane season, the propagation of isotopically distinct rainfall pulses across semiarid landscapes of Mesoamerica is largely unknown.
methodsIn June 2024, tropical storm (TS) Alberto made landfall in northeastern Mexico. This study evaluates TS Alberto's monthly and annual rainfall contribution across Tamaulipas and Nuevo León and the isotopic excursions (δ
resultsResults show that TS Alberto produced unprecedented rainfall, ranging from 0.22 to 11.41 times the 10-year June average, and up to 123% of the annual average in orographically influenced regions (i.e., variation is based on 86 locations across the region). Reservoir data highlight a rapid hydrological recovery, with dam levels in Tamaulipas and Nuevo León increasing significantly within weeks. Rainfall isotopic composition exhibited a broad spectrum (δ
conclusionsThe storm's isotopic signature was traced into surface waters, providing evidence of rapid river response and potentially for aquifer recharge. These findings emphasize the dual hydrological and isotopic role of TCs in modulating water scarcity and improving hydroclimate reconstructions in drought-prone landscapes.
