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

While increasing vegetation productivity in dryland basins may mask declining functional resilience, we quantified drought impacts and post-drought recovery across the Yellow River Basin from 2001 to 2023. By integrating MODIS gross primary productivity, the 3-month Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index, and hydro-climatic covariates, this study characterized the spatiotemporal dynamics of ecosystem resilience under a drought background without clear basin-wide alleviation. Although significant greening was detected across 72.2% of natural-vegetation sampling locations and basin-wide mean monthly GPP showed a positive long-term trend, there was no comparable basin-wide alleviation in the 3-month Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index drought conditions. Instantaneous drought impacts were also spatially heterogeneous: the Upstream showed both the most negative mean drought-month GPP
