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

The deployment of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in sandy regions alters the local microclimate. Accurate microclimate prediction is essential for optimizing short-term operations and maintenance plans. Compared with traditional statistical and numerical models, neural networks are suited to capture the complex nonlinear dependencies in sandy-region PV environments. Graph neural networks (GNNs) extend neural networks to process data defined on graph domains, enabling them to confront high-dimensional feature redundancy, attenuated temporal dependencies, and pronounced spatial heterogeneity. Accordingly, we propose a spatio-temporal graph convolutional network with environmental covariates (EC-STGCN) for station-level microclimate prediction at meteorological stations. Experimental results demonstrate that EC-STGCN achieves accurate high-resolution spatio-temporal predictions of temperature, relative humidity (RH), and particulate matter (PM
