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

With the ongoing climate changes, the Arctic is experiencing large changes, which have the potential to negatively influence natural environments, human settlements, and cultural heritage. The permanently frozen ground (permafrost) and the seasonally thawing and freezing active layer are sensitive to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns. With permafrost degradation and active layer thickening, Arctic cultural heritage and modern buildings can be increasingly affected by permafrost-related hazards. Mitigating these hazards requires implementation of tools at the local to regional scale. This paper presents a spatial dataset of permafrost-related hazards in Svalbard, integrating three geospatial indicators documenting (1) geomorphology-based hazard susceptibility, (2) Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) ground movement, and (3) coastal erosion hazard susceptibility based on the distance to the coastlines. The resulting hazard indicator is combined with vulnerability indicators to provide risk estimates for cultural heritage sites and modern buildings in and around Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund. The dataset includes the products from all steps, from the initial spatial geodata to the hazard/vulnerability indicators and risk estimates.
