Drought development characteristics modulate global dry-wet abrupt alternation through distinct land-atmosphere feedbacks.

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
Rapid transitions from drought to extreme precipitation can trigger cascading impacts, but the influence of antecedent drought development on subsequent precipitation remains unclear. Dry-wet abrupt alternation events were identified using a global event-scale framework and separated into successive dry and wet phases. These events followed approximately 32% of droughts, and their frequency increased significantly in 58% of the 26 IPCC-SREX regions assessed in 1951-2020. Model-based analysis showed that drought-development characteristics contributed 25.7% of the predictive information distinguishing droughts with and without subsequent extreme precipitation. Rapid and intense soil-moisture decline was associated with earlier, more convective precipitation, particularly in mid- and high-latitude climate-transition regions, whereas prolonged and severe drought development was associated with delayed, more stratiform precipitation, especially in arid and tropical regions. Here, we show that antecedent drought development is linked to distinct, region-dependent pathways from drought to extreme precipitation, providing a basis for anticipating compound hydrological extremes.
