Origin of reconnecting current sheets in shocked turbulent plasma.
Article in Science advances, 2024. 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
Magnetic reconnection, the rearrangement of magnetic field topologies, is a fundamental plasma process throughout the universe, which converts magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy and results in particle energization. A current sheet is a prerequisite for the occurrence of magnetic reconnection. It has been well documented that reconnecting current sheets are prevalent in turbulent plasmas. However, how these current sheets are formed remains unclear. Among natural plasmas, the region downstream of the Earth's bow shock, the magnetosheath, is one of the most turbulent. Here, we show that the reconnecting current sheets in the turbulent magnetosheath originate from the waves in the region upstream of the shock. Once excited, the upstream waves are transmitted across the shock, compressed, and then transformed into current sheets in the downstream region. Magnetic reconnection subsequently occurs in these downstream current sheets. This process can be generalized to various shocked plasmas in astrophysical and laboratorial environments where turbulent magnetic reconnection should be common.
