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

The western Pacific subtropical high (WPSH) is a crucial system controlling weather anomalies in East Asia. Early studies defined the WPSH using either thermodynamic or dynamic metrics, but these metrics yield inconsistent trends and coverages in WPSH under anthropogenic warming. Subsequently, consensus on the response of WPSH to climate change has not been reached. Here, we investigate the response of WPSH to past and future climate change by developing a novel WPSH definition based on thermodynamic-dynamic synergy, which provides higher trend consistency of WPSH and better spatiotemporal agreement with weather anomalies. Our results reveal robust increases in WPSH area (0.25-1.03 × 10
