Sm-Nd Isotope Data Compilation from Geoscientific Literature Using an Automated Tabular Extraction Method.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. 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
The rare earth elements Sm and Nd significantly address fundamental questions about crustal growth, such as its spatiotemporal evolution and the interplay between orogenesis and crustal accretion. Their relative immobility during high-grade metamorphism makes the Sm-Nd isotopic system crucial for inferring crustal formation times. Historically, data have been disseminated sporadically in the scientific literature due to complicated and costly sampling procedures, resulting in a fragmented knowledge base. However, the scattering of critical geoscience data across multiple publications poses significant challenges regarding human capital and time. In response, we present an automated tabular extraction method for harvesting tabular geoscience data. We collect 10,624 Sm-Nd data entries from 9,138 tables in over 20,000 geoscience publications using this method. We manually selected 2,118 data points from it to supplement the previously constructed global Sm-Nd dataset, increasing its sample count by over 20%. Our automatic data collection methodology enhances the efficiency of data acquisition processes spanning various scientific domains.
