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 chemical compositions of most lunar impact glass beads reflect mixing of crustal components including mare basalts, highlands rocks, and KREEP [from high concentrations of K, REE (rare earth element), and P]. However, a few glass beads in the soil from the Chang'e-5 mission have unusually high MgO contents that require distinct target compositions. The young age of these high-MgO glass beads suggests an origin through impact melting of ultramafic target rocks with abundant pyroxene and olivine. While such targets might represent cumulates of mare basalts, impact melts, or Mg-suite rocks, they appear unlike any sampled lunar lithologies. Alternatively, these high-Mg beads might be sampling the upper mantle brought to the surface by the Imbrium basin-forming event.
