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

Hydroclimatic assessment in Xinjiang is constrained by sparse observations, complex terrain and systematic biases in widely used gridded and reanalysis products. Here we present the Three-Dimensional Variational Xinjiang Meteorological Forcing Dataset (3DVAR-MF-XJ), a 0.1° gridded near-surface dataset for 1961-2020 at hourly and daily resolution, including 2 m air temperature, relative humidity, 10 m wind speed, surface pressure, downward shortwave radiation and precipitation. 3DVAR-MF-XJ is generated using a hybrid framework in which regional modelling with three-dimensional variational data assimilation first produces dynamically consistent fields (3DVAR-XJ), followed by station-constrained bias correction on a common 0.1° grid. Evaluation against 30 withheld stations and independent benchmark products shows reduced mean and root-mean-square errors, higher correlations, and improved representation of precipitation over complex terrain and shortwave radiation at high elevations relative to ERA5, ERA5-Land and CN05.1. For precipitation, RMSE is reduced by 65.6%, 64.9% and 49.3% relative to ERA5, ERA5-Land and CN05.1, respectively. 3DVAR-MF-XJ provides a unified, well-documented forcing dataset for hydrological, ecological and land-atmosphere applications in arid Xinjiang.
