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

This study presents a landslide susceptibility assessment using multiple parameters by integrating remote sensing, GIS, and field observations in the Jammu and Kashmir region. Eight contributing variables were selected for landslide susceptibility analysis: Land Use and Land Cover (LULC), proximity to roads, streams, slope gradient, slope orientation (aspect), geology, geomorphology, and elevation. In addition, an extensive landslide inventory consisting of 669 landslide events was developed using the Field Landslide Inventory Mapping (FLIM) application, LISS-IV satellite data, and field observations, covering an area of 42,950.43 km². Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) was carried out using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) approach and validated with MaxEnt software and field-generated landslide data. The resulting landslide susceptibility map was classified into five categories: very high, high, medium, low, and very low susceptibility zones. Based on the AHP approach, these zones cover 3.65% (1,569.0483 km²), 24.43% (10,492.8912 km²), 51.56% (22,147.2369 km²), 18.81% (8,079.2199 km²), and 1.54% (662.0301 km²) of the study area, respectively. The weighted overlay and MaxEnt models proved effective for landslide vulnerability mapping, with MaxEnt achieving AUC values of 0.82 for training data and 0.807 for testing data, indicating good predictive performance. Field validation further showed that 87% of landslides occurred within high and very high susceptibility zones. The Jackknife test identified road proximity, slope, and stream proximity as the most significant independent variables influencing landslide occurrence. The generated landslide susceptibility map provides important insights for reducing landslide risk and serves as a valuable tool for infrastructure planning, community development, and disaster management in the region.
