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

The Nyangoubé gold prospect, located in northwestern northwest of Côte d'Ivoire in Africa, is a feature of the Bagoé furrow of the Birimian of the West African Craton. This study is aimed at characterizing the geochemical and mineralogical signatures of hydrothermal alterations associated with the gold mineralization of Nyangoubé gold prospect to provide guidelines for mining exploration. Microscopic petrographic analysis and geochemical characteristics from elemental contents analyzed by X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and inductive coupled-plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) were studied using alteration diagrams and by calculating mass balances and describing thin sections. The results indicate that the host rocks have been affected by silicification, carbonation, sericitization, chloritization, sulphidation and albitization. Hydrothermal alterations associated with the mineralization systems resulted in the destruction of plagioclase in the metasediments studied. The latter was replaced by sericite, chlorite, carbonates, quartz, and sulphides in varying proportions, depending on the intensity of each type of alteration linked to the formation of each mineral. The mass balance calculations show a gradual increase in the concentrations of Au, W, V, As and Pb as well as K
