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

This study focuses on delineating water extent within the alpine wetlands of Haizishan, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a meteorologically complex region. Situated within a 6,000 km² Quaternary ice sheet landscape with over 600 water bodies, this area offers a crucial setting to examine climate change impacts on high-altitude wetland systems. Employing Sentinel-1 SAR data and the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, we implemented an Improved OTSU algorithm, achieving > 95% accuracy in water surface delineation despite persistent cloud cover. Notably, wetland water extent expanded from 52.9 km² to 54.8 km² between 2015 and 2022, correlating with increased precipitation. This expansion, and its precipitation-driven nature, distinguishes these non-glacial-fed wetlands hydrologically from glacial water bodies in the broader region, particularly impacting shallower wetland areas sensitive to thermal variations.
