The spatio-temporal trend of climate and characterization of drought in Borana Zone, Ethiopia.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. 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
This research assessed the Borana Zone's climate trends and drought characteristics from 1991 to 2050. Using Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA), we quantified the climate and drought changes. The standard Precipitation and Evaporation index (SPEI) and self calibrated Palmer's Droguht Severity Index (scPDSI) were selected to compute the drought's magnitude. Precipitation significantly decreased from 1991 to 2020, with a variation from 2021 to 2050. Drought indices generally showed a decreasing trend. The short-term drought index (SPEI3) in the Mid-Moist (MM) category experienced the greatest decline, with a slope of - 0.055/year during the reference period. Under RCP4.5 scenarios, the SPEI3 for the Extremely-Most (EM) class showed the steepest decline at - 1.827/year. For RCP8.5, MM categories displayed significant reductions, with annual slopes of - 0.073, 0.021, and - 0.14 for SPEI3, SPEI12, and scPDSI, respectively. The moisture intensity also showed a diminishing trend, with scPDSI projected to decrease by 40.47% and 20.77% under the two emission scenarios. During the reference period, Near Normal (NN) moisture frequency varied from 71.39% to 82.81%, but is expected to decrease by 12% and 8% under the two scenarios. The adverse impacts can be mitigated by building the capacity of drought-vulnerable community.
