Spatial early warning signals to assess economic resilience.
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
Improving the resilience of economies to crises is of societal and policy interest. In this article, we complement the regional economics literature on resistance and recovery facets of resilience by instead exploring signals for loss of resilience prior to crises. In particular, we adapt spatiotemporal indicators from the ecological literature to spatially disaggregated unemployment data to assess the resilience of the economy of France. Key questions are whether more information about the resilience of the system can be gained by considering the spatial dimension, and whether the indicators can be used as a detection method of impending economic crises. This approach reveals that a spatially disaggregated principal components analysis enables to capture of signals of critical slowing down and to assess which specific region or groups of regions dominate the unemployment dynamics, which represents critical information that is missed when using nonspatial early warning signals. We find that different regions dominate the signal before or after a crisis. This resembles response diversity as seen in ecosystems. The spatial early warning signal, Moran's I, is found to increase prior to the moments of economic crises. These findings suggest that the spatial characteristics of a country's unemployment are crucial to assess a country's resilience.
