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

Significant changes in tectonic style and climate occurred from the late Archaean to early Proterozoic when continental growth and emergence provided opportunities for photosynthetic life to proliferate by the initiation of the Great Oxidation Event (GOE). In this study, we report a Neoarchaean passive-margin-type sequence (2560-2500 million years ago) from the Precambrian basement of China that formed in an accretionary orogen. Tectonostratigraphic and detrital zircon analysis reveal that thermal subsidence on the backside of a recently amalgamated oceanic archipelago created a quiet, shallow water environment, marked by deposition of carbonates, shales, and shallow water sediments, likely hosts to early photosynthetic microbes. Distinct from the traditional understanding of passive margins generated by continental rifting, post-collisional subsidence of archipelago margins represents a novel stable niche, signalling initial continental maturity and foreshadowing great changes at the Archaean-Proterozoic boundary.
