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

Meteorological drought prediction is critical for early warning and climate-risk management; yet, modeling regional drought evolution across multi-timescale remains challenging. Here, we propose DCSwinLSTM, a feature-fusion framework that combines deformable convolution for boundary-sensitive spatial encoding, a Swin transformer for hierarchical multi-scale feature learning, and an LSTM recurrent update for temporal dependency modeling. Using a global gridded dataset (1959-2022) constructed from the standardized precipitation index (SPI) and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) at 3- and 6-month scales, DCSwinLSTM consistently outperforms mainstream spatiotemporal prediction baselines. On the held-out SPI-3 test set, it achieves mean square error (MSE) 0.4269, mean absolute error (MAE) 0.5050, root mean square error (RMSE) 0.6534, R
