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

The differences in terrain and chemical composition between the far side of the Moon (lunar farside) and the near side have been identified through remote sensing spectroscopy. The lunar farside samples returned by the Chang'e-6 mission show differences in terms of space weathering features compared to nearside samples. The studied farside samples lack vapor deposition layers found on the nearside and exhibit thinner amorphized layers, lower solar flare track densities, reduced number densities of nano phase metallic iron (npFe
