Adapting to sea level rise and storms.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
It is well known that sea level rise (SLR) will force retreat along rural coastlines but that cities will need to protect their coasts. But how exactly should seawalls, flood insurance, and retreat be used over time to minimize the overall cost of coastal flooding to society? This paper examines dynamic coastal adaptation in six cities along the eastern seaboard of the United States through 2180. We argue that seawalls should be designed to minimize the sum of seawall costs and expected residual flood damage. Flood insurance for residual damage can address risk aversion. The results reveal that only areas with high expected damage per kilometer of coastline require walls. Only a few segments of most cities need a wall now. The optimal wall height is about 1-2 m. SLR will force more urban seawalls to be built over the next 100 years. The faster SLR rises, the sooner they will need to be built.
