The weathering process of carbonatite: weathering time.
Article in PeerJ, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Soil formation by rock weathering is driven by a combination of parent material, climate, organisms, topography, and time. Among these soil-forming factors, time plays a pivotal role in the weathering of carbonatite but it is a challenging factor to study quantitatively. A method for determining the weathering duration of carbonatite based on its weathering characteristics over a century-scale time period has not been clearly established. In this study, we selected abandoned carbonatite tombstones commonly found in the karst region of southwest China for investigation, using the date when the tombstones were erected as the onset of weathering. Chemical weathering indices were used to evaluate the weathering degree of different oxide contents produced by the carbonatite weathering process. In order to explore the weathering characteristics over time, the relationship between weathering duration and weathering degree was established. The results showed the following: (1) magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), titanium (Ti) are gradually enriched in the carbonatite regolith, and calcium (Ca) is gradually reduced. (2) The chemical indices of alteration (CIA), leaching coefficient (Lc), alumina-to-calcium ratio (AC) and mobiles index (I
