1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study develops a statistical and technological framework to analyze extreme rainfall in Colima, Mexico, by integrating historical precipitation records, probabilistic modeling, and spatial visualization. Using data from CONAGUA meteorological stations, we identify high-intensity rainfall events and model their recurrence using the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution to estimate key return periods. The results support flood-risk assessment and territorial planning in Colima. Spatial interpolation was performed in Python (version 3.13), and QGIS (version 3.38) produces exceedance maps that illustrate geographic variations in rainfall intensity across the state. These exceedance maps reveal a consistent spatial pattern, with the northern and western areas of Colima experiencing the highest frequencies of extreme events. Based on these results, the integration of real-time sensor technologies and satellite observations may improve flood monitoring and risk management frameworks.
