Response characteristics of near-surface air temperature to soil moisture across different climate zones in china.
Article in iScience, 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
Soil moisture (SM) not only directly influences surface energy balance but also significantly alters near-surface air temperature (T) by modulating latent and sensible heat fluxes, thereby affecting regional climate and ecosystem stability. This study decodes how SM shapes T across China from 1980 to 2023, using the evaporative fraction-soil moisture (EF-SM) coupling method. Key findings highlight strong spatial heterogeneity: while most regions cool with wetter soils-especially inner Mongolia (∂T/∂SM, -22.38) and closed shrublands, the Qinghai-Tibet plateau shows unusual warming feedback (+1.07). SM-driven temperature changes are most extreme in arid inner Mongolia (1.76°C), far surpassing humid south China (0.28°C). The regulatory role also shifts by climate: EF directly controls temperature in dry zones, while SM indirectly influences it in humid regions. These insights refine climate predictions and ecological strategies under global change.
