Local suppression by link rewiring reveals discontinuous percolation transitions.
Article in Science advances, 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
When a governor occupies links one by one to globally suppress the formation of large clusters, a macroscopic cluster emerges discontinuously. We report here a mechanism by which a macroscopic cluster emerges discontinuously when each node rewires its links to locally suppress the formation of large clusters as links are occupied. In this manner, each node may compete with its neighbors to suppress the growth of its cluster, but the formation of a macroscopic cluster is suppressed cooperatively, and this results in discontinuous percolation transitions. This result implies that each entity actively participating in suppressing macroscopic phenomena, such as an epidemic or forest fire, could potentially lead to a rapid outbreak.
