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

Sebecid notosuchians are the only terrestrial crocodyliforms to survive the Cretaceous-Palaeogene extinction, 66 Ma, which eliminated large-bodied species (above approximately 5 kg) in terrestrial ecosystems. Early sebecid evolution is unclear due to the scarcity of remains from both sides of the boundary. We present the stratigraphically earliest post-extinction notosuchian record, from the lower Palaeocene Salamanca Formation of Patagonia.
