A Frontal Ablation Dataset for 49 Tidewater Glaciers in Greenland.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Frontal ablation at tidewater glaciers, which comprises iceberg calving and submarine and subaerial melting, is a key boundary condition for numerical ice sheet models but remains difficult to measure in-situ. Although previous studies have provided frontal ablation estimates over a range of spatiotemporal scales, most use ice discharge as an approximation, thereby neglecting the influence of terminus position change. Here, we present a dataset of frontal ablation estimates for 49 tidewater glaciers in Greenland that have reliable near-terminus bathymetry data. Near-terminus volume change over the period 1987-2020 is determined using previously published datasets of terminus positions (TermPicks) together with ice thicknesses estimated from ArcticDEM, AeroDEM, and Bedmachine v5 bed topography. Assuming a vertical terminus geometry and uniform ice density, we estimate frontal ablation as the residual between mass flux towards the terminus taken from a published dataset and mass change due to changes in terminus position. The frontal ablation dataset offers opportunities for developing new insights into ice dynamics, including helping to improve numerical model hindcasting and projections.
