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 current low-resolution chronostratigraphic framework for the early Ediacaran Period hampers a comprehensive understanding of potential trigger mechanisms for environmental upheavals and their connections to evolutionary innovation. Here, we establish a high-resolution astrochronological framework spanning ~57.6 million years of the early Ediacaran, anchored by the radioisotopic date of the Gaskiers glaciation onset, based on key sections from South China. Constrained by multiple radioisotopic dates, this framework precisely constrains the timing of the Marinoan deglaciation, Ediacaran Negative carbon isotope excursions 1 and 2 (EN1 and EN2), and key fossil assemblages (acanthomorphic acritarchs, Weng'an and Lantian biotas). These dates indicate the rapid termination of the Marinoan glaciation in South China within 10
