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

Plate subduction exerts a strong influence over the tectonic evolution of the eastern Himalayan syntaxis (EHS) due to the substantial heterogeneity of plate contacts over space and time. The variability in tectonic escapes around EHS presents challenges for understanding the primary drivers. Here we use 3D models to mimic the ≥ 40 Myr subduction of India based on different leading edges and quantitatively analyze the associated viscous flows at various depths across the eastern Tibet. We find that the continuous, northeastward indentation of India enhances clockwise rotation and that the difference between shallow subduction in the north and steep subduction in the south of the EHS is critical to tectonic extrusion. The dynamic mechanism of this bottom-up process leads to significant lateral mantle flow and contributes to > 1000 km of material escaping southward.
