Pyrite suspended in artificial sea water catalyzes hydrolysis of adsorbed ATP: enhancing effect of acetate.
Article in Origins of life and evolution of the biosphere : the journal of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life, 1999. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Minerals have been implicated in different catalytic processes during chemical evolution. It has been proposed that exergonic synthesis of pyrite (FeS2) could have served to promote the endergonic synthesis of biomonomers in early stages of life formation on Earth. The present study was aimed to investigate whether pyrite can adsorb nucleotides and oxo acids in the potentially mild prebiotic conditions found away from the hot hydrothermal vents. It is shown that pyrite strongly adsorbs adenosine 5'-triphosphate in an artificial medium that simulates primordial aqueous environments, and that adsorption is enhanced in the presence of acetate and in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Moreover, the mineral catalyzes the sequential hydrolysis of the gamma and beta phosphoanhydride bonds of the nucleotide.
