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

We propose a leakage-free wavelet-based methodology for drought prediction that enables both competitive forecasting performance and improved interpretability of predictor-target relationships. Unlike standard time-series decomposition approaches, the wavelet transform is applied within moving windows of the past values, preventing the use of future information during model training. The method merges local and large-scale climate predictors across multiple temporal scales and is evaluated using 76 years of drought data from Illinois, USA. Predictive performance is assessed using RMSE, SMAPE, MASE, R
