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

Rock glacier inventories offer essential baseline information for assessing mountain permafrost, hydrological storage, and climate change impacts in high mountain regions. Here, an updated rock glacier inventory for the Eastern Himalaya is presented. Rock glacier outlines were identified using UNetFormer, a deep learning segmentation model, and subsequently refined through manual improvement. The resulting inventory is consistent with the baseline and practical concepts of the International Permafrost Association Action Group Rock Glacier Inventories and Kinematics guidelines and provides standardized attributes describing location and related metadata. In total, the inventory comprises 10,552 mapped rock glacier units covering 587.78 km² and is intended to support the assessment of mountain permafrost, as well as cryospheric and hydrological processes.
