Groundwater depletion in India: the influence of seasonal precipitation and land use land cover.
Article in Environmental science and pollution research international, 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
The rapid depletion of groundwater across India has been revealed through data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites, particularly in the northern plains. In India, groundwater supports more than 60% of the irrigated area. The impact of seasonal precipitation and land use land cover change (LULCC) on groundwater was investigated through a correlation analysis of multi-source datasets. The data comprised of regional-level monthly precipitation data from ECMWF Reanalysis v5 (ERA5), LULCC data from the NASA MODIS satellite sensor, and groundwater storage estimates derived from the GRACE satellites' Center for Space Research (CSR) RL06 Mascon solutions alongside the global land data assimilation system (GLDAS) products. Analysis revealed substantial variability in seasonal precipitation, with the steepest declines observed in northeastern India. Significant expansions in land use types were found for croplands (9%), deciduous broadleaf forests (53%), mixed forests (21%), and urban areas (5%). In northern regions, a negative correlation between groundwater levels and both urbanization and cropland expansion was observed. Moreover, the relationship between seasonal precipitation and groundwater storage demonstrated marked regional and temporal differences. These findings underscore the necessity for integrated water management strategies, including optimizing and diversifying water sources for agriculture, promoting aquifer recharge, and enhancing wastewater treatment practices.
