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

Large lakes are important to buffering the potential impacts of global climate change on local water resources that millions of people's livelihoods depend on. However, abrupt changes in water level from one extreme to another (e.g., flood to drought) over short periods of time have been observed recently, threatening aquatic ecosystems and socio-economics in globe. We argue that the seemingly rare dramatic extreme changes are no longer incidental, but are becoming a new norm. The combined forces of ongoing climate change and anthropogenic intensification in many parts of the world are presumably the root causes. More prevalent than the retreating glaciers, lakes are more vulnerable to human modification, an emerging dimension of global changing environment. We call for mechanistic understanding of the interactions of climate-watershed-human across major lakes. Such international collaborative efforts are essential to developing effective solutions to mitigate the impacts of drought and floods in global large-lake regions.
