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

Geological records witness extensive glaciations in the late Ediacaran, ranging from ~580 to 560 Ma or younger. However, the explanation of maintenance for this regionally diachronous and globally continuous glacial epoch is still unclear. Here, using the Earth system model (CESM 1.2.2) and the revised weathering model, we demonstrate that the newly exposed regions with high weatherability from glaciated continents to ice-free tropics, controlled by true polar wander (TPW), could increase weathering rate to maintain uninterrupted late Ediacaran ice age, especially during 575-565 Ma.
