Projected and historical amplification of moisture fluxes towards Antarctica by synoptic eddies.
Article in NPJ climate and atmospheric science, 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
Synoptic weather systems play a crucial role in transporting moisture to Antarctica. Climate models project significant changes in these systems, including a wintertime intensification and a summertime poleward shift, with implications for Antarctic ice mass balance. Our analysis of CMIP6 model output shows synoptic moisture fluxes across the Antarctic Circle increasing by 2-6% per decade under high-emission scenarios, accounting for 24% of winter and 93% of summer total moisture transport trends. This increase is mainly associated with enhanced eddy moisture anomalies rather than stronger eddy wind anomalies that are often used to gauge storm track activity. Eddy-driven moisture variability also accounts for a substantial fraction of inter-model uncertainty in future projections. Furthermore, using a large-ensemble approach, we show that differences between reanalysis and multi-model mean externally forced trends could possibly be due to natural climatic variability, while potential model biases cannot be excluded.
