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

Anomalous precipitation events often exhibit coherent spatial organization rather than isolated intensity extremes, reshaping regional flood risk in subtropical monsoon zones. Using 1-km daily precipitation data from 1961 to 2019, we developed an unsupervised framework combining a convolutional autoencoder and a self-organizing map to identify event-scale anomalous precipitation patterns over Northern Jiangsu. A total of 543 anomalous days were classified into five distinct spatial types characterized by pronounced north-south contrasts and east-west differentiation. Interaction analysis reveals suppressive and co-occurring relationships among patterns, indicating structured atmospheric control. Phase variations of the Western North Pacific Subtropical High and the East Asian jet significantly modulate the probability of different patterns. Incorporating circulation-conditioned pattern probabilities into runoff forecasting improves peak discharge simulation. These findings highlight the importance of circulation-structured precipitation in linking atmospheric variability with hydrological response under nonstationary climate conditions.
