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

A lack of quantitative rainfall reconstruction has hindered understanding of the role of hydrological disturbances at ∼4.2 kyr BP (1000 years before present) in the collapse of the Shijiahe culture-an advanced Neolithic society in the Middle Yangtze Valley (MYV). We provide a quantitative paleohydrology reconstruction for the period 4.6-3.5 kyr BP by using calcium isotopes, trace elements and δ
