Multiscale assessment of transboundary water-food-energy nexus under climate change in Irtysh River Basin.
Article in iScience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Climate change is intensifying water scarcity and amplifying upstream-downstream tensions in transboundary river basins, particularly in Central Asia. We present a multiscale framework integrating hydrological dynamics with the water-food-energy (WFE) nexus to assess climate-driven cross-sectoral trade-offs in Irtysh River Basin. By combining long-term hydroclimatic observations with climate projections, we quantified the effects of temperature and precipitation variability on runoff and evaluated how these changes propagate across interconnected WFE systems. Climate-induced hydrological changes increased irrigation demand, reduced hydropower potential, reshaped agricultural productivity, and intensified regional resource pressures, with distinct responses between upstream and downstream regions. These findings reveal pronounced spatial heterogeneity in climate vulnerability and adaptive capacity, highlighting the need for differentiated adaptation strategies and coordinated transboundary governance. Our study establishes a transferable framework for assessing climate change impacts across the WFE nexus, providing actionable insights for enhancing climate resilience and sustainable resource governance in transboundary river basins.
