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

Various icy moons, such as Europa and Ganymede, have thin oxygen atmospheres and exhibit spectral features attributed to oxygen held in their surface ices. The oxygen forms from the radiolysis of water. The interiors of these bodies are subject to high pressures and it is not known how deep into icy moons oxygen-bearing ices can penetrate, or the structures formed by the oxygen-water system at high pressure. Here, we show that oxygen hydrates are stable to 2.6 GPa, allowing them to penetrate deep into icy moons, both above and below proposed sub-surface liquid-water oceans. Similarities between oxygen and hydrogen hydrates indicate potentially enhanced recombination rates, transforming them back into water and offering a resolution to the discrepancy between predicted and measured radiolysis rates. In addition to the low-pressure CS-II clathrate, our results find three high-pressure phases in the oxygen-water system: an ST clathrate, a C
