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

Understanding how global climate forcing shapes regional hydroclimate on decadal to millennial timescales is critical for predicting the response of continental ice sheets to future warming. Because instrumental observations capture only a short interval, longer-term perspectives require proxy records. Here we present a high-resolution sedimentary record covering the entire Holocene from southwestern Greenland. We show that after the demise of local glaciers in the Early Holocene, the record allows evaluation of millennial to decadal variations in local precipitation. Comparison with North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) reconstructions and climate model simulations demonstrates that positive NAO phases correspond to wetter but colder regional conditions. These findings suggest that centennial-scale patterns of ice mass balance during the late Holocene were influenced by precipitation variability, in addition to temperature changes. While the sensitivity to precipitation variability may change under a warmer climate, our results underscore the importance of integrating shifts in NAO-driven moisture delivery to accurately assess the future stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet.
