The raising and westward expansion of central Tibet.
Article in National science review, 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
Understanding the Cenozoic growth history of the Himalaya-Tibetan Plateau (HTP) is essential for elucidating the underlying geodynamic mechanism and interactions among topography, biosphere and atmosphere. However, the spatial-temporal evolution of the HTP, especially that of the Paleogene Central Tibetan Valley (CTV), remains hotly debated. In this study, through radiometric geochronology, plant assemblages, oxygen and clumped isotope paleoaltimetries, we reconstruct the uplift history of the east-west-oriented Luolong Basin in eastern Tibet. Results show that the Luolong Basin was at 0.6 (+0.2/-0.4) km at ca. 54-46 Ma, then rose to 2.9 ± 0.9 km at ca. 44 Ma. The newly discovered Luolong Flora indicates the Eocene CTV extending into eastern Tibet, and that the valley was higher in the east, sloping to the west, inferring a westward progressive rise of the valley floor. Integrated evidence from paleomagnetism, magmatism and seismic tomography suggests that the birth of the near modern plateau is attributed to the stepwise delamination (drip) of the subducted Lhasa lithosphere from east to west.
