River temperature response to atmospheric heatwaves is modulated by discharge and meltwater.

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
Alpine rivers are becoming increasingly exposed to atmospheric heatwaves. Because of their strong relationship with air temperature, rivers can experience persistent heat anomalies, known as riverine heatwaves, which can have serious consequences for river ecosystems and the economy. This study aims to improve our understanding of how river water temperature responds to atmospheric heatwaves by focusing on the interplay of various hydro-climatic variables that can strengthen or weaken the thermal sensitivity of rivers to such events. Our results show that the response of water temperature to atmospheric heatwaves can vary substantially, with only 47% of atmospheric heatwaves leading to riverine heatwaves. Riverine heatwave development can be prevented by positive anomalies in discharge and meltwater, while negative anomalies in discharge strengthen the link between atmospheric and river temperatures. Future changes in these hydro-climatic conditions will likely increase the sensitivity of Alpine rivers to atmospheric heatwaves.
