The Vulnerability and Resilience of Drinking Water Systems to Extreme Weather Events and Future Climate Change.
Review in Current environmental health reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purpose of reviewWe reviewed the evidence on climate resilience of the drinking water sector, focusing on: How are climate hazards affecting drinking water supplies changing? How is resilience measured? What interventions are being used to build resilience? RECENT
findingsThe frequency and intensity of flooding and drought are increasing, water quality is deteriorating, and wildfire and sea-level rise pose increasing threats. Frameworks to measure resilience are emerging, but none is applied universally. a wide range of actions are required to build resilience but there is limited evidence of uptake and performance. Non-utility water supplies are at particular risk but investment in resilience is limited. Climate change poses a major threat to drinking water supplies, but current actions to improve resilience are insufficient. More evaluations of the performance of resilience measures are needed. Floods and drought remain the most studied threats, but risks from wildfire, water quality and sea-level need more attention and research. More work is needed to consolidate how resilience is measured. A summary of the detailed findings in provided in Table 1 at the end of the review.
