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

Daihai Lake, a typical closed inland lake in the arid and semi-arid region of Inner Mongolia, has been subject to two consecutive years of ecological water replenishment to mitigate its severe ecological degradation. While the lake water level has risen and wetland ecosystems have been gradually restored, existing studies have predominantly focused on changes in lake water quality, leaving a critical research gap regarding the hydrochemical evolution, formation mechanisms, and drinking water safety risks of groundwater in the plain area of the Daihai Lake Basin under the dynamic conditions of ongoing water replenishment. To fill this gap, this study systematically analyzed the hydrochemical characteristics and formation mechanisms of groundwater in the study area, and conducted a comprehensive groundwater quality assessment. A suite of representative groundwater samples were collected from the study area after two years of ecological water replenishment, and analyzed using an integrated set of methods including Self-Organizing Map (SOM) clustering, hydrochemical graphical analysis, ion ratio analysis, multivariate statistical analysis, and the Entropy-weighted Water Quality Index (EWQI) method. The results show that: (1) Groundwater is divided into three clusters via SOM, with distinct ion sources from carbonate/silicate weathering and halite dissolution across clusters; some samples have excess SO₄
