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 present a global dataset of spatiotemporally clustered drought events for 1980-2024, derived from daily precipitation, potential evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and surface runoff data. Drought conditions were consistently defined using a 10th percentile threshold and clustered in space and time using a three-dimensional implementation of the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm. The dataset represents droughts as coherent spatiotemporal events rather than isolated grid-cell anomalies. For each drought event, it provides detailed metadata on spatial extent, temporal duration, severity, and centroid position. By applying a consistent event-detection framework across atmospheric forcing, root-zone soil moisture, and runoff response, the dataset supports systematic analysis of global drought dynamics and compound extremes. The dataset is openly available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18292641 , providing a reusable resource for climate, hydrology, and hazard research.
