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

Rainfall-induced landslides are increasingly frequent in loess-covered regions of Xinjiang, China, posing a serious threat to residents and infrastructure. This study investigates the deformation behavior and stability response of the Xingfu Dayuan landslide in Yecheng County, aiming to clarify how rainfall characteristics control landslide development. Field investigations, time-series InSAR-based deformation monitoring, and numerical simulations were integrated to analyze landslide evolution from 2022 to 2024. Satellite observation results reveal that deformation is unevenly distributed across the slope and is most pronounced in the middle and lower sections, where average deformation rates reach approximately 15–18 mm per year, and cumulative displacement exceeds 50 mm, indicating that the landslide remains active. Deformation intensified from 2023 to 2024 and exhibited clear seasonal variations, with accelerated movement during periods of concentrated rainfall and higher temperatures. Numerical simulation results reveal that rainfall infiltration significantly increases internal water pressure, with infiltration depths extending from about 4 m under low-intensity rainfall to nearly 8 m during extreme rainfall events. As a result, slope stability decreases progressively, with the stability factor approaching or falling below the critical threshold. Notably, the minimum stability does not occur during rainfall but typically 12–24 h after rainfall ceases, revealing a pronounced delayed response of the loess slope to rainfall infiltration. These findings demonstrate that rainfall intensity, duration, and post-rainfall infiltration jointly control loess landslide deformation and stability, highlighting the importance of considering delayed instability in landslide hazard assessment and early warning.
