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

We provide timestamps for the major zinc-lead (Zn-Pb) Mississippi Valley-type Black Angel deposit (Greenland) based on new pyrite rhenium-osmium (Re-Os) isotope geochemistry data: (1) a Re-Os isochron age 1,884 ± 35 million years ago (Ma - 2σ, 1.8%) for subhedral pyrite cemented by sphalerite ± galena in dolomitized clean limestone, and, (2) a Re-Os model age 1,828 ± 16 Ma (2σ, 0.9%) for epigenetic massive pyrite in siltstone/mudstone cap rock. Zinc-lead mineralization in evaporite-bearing carbonates in the Karrat Basin took place ca. 1,884 Ma at the time of far-field fluid flow associated with back-arc spreading ca. 1,900-1,850 Ma. Mineralization predates the development of the Rinkian foreland basin (ca. 1,850 - < 1,800 Ma) and a collisional stage (ca. 1,830 - < 1,800 Ma) in the context of the telescoping Rinkian and the Nagssugtoqidian Orogens. Replacement of clean carbonate and sustained acid neutralization led to significant sphalerite precipitation ca. 1,884 Ma. Conversely, precipitation of epigenetic massive pyrite in the cap rock ca. 1,828 Ma may signal (1) the lack of chemical reactivity of the cap rock for the pH-buffered conditions needed for Zn-Pb mineralization, and (2) the unfavorable impact of incipient regional Rinkian metamorphism (ca. 1,830-1,800 Ma) and tectonic compression on aquifer permeability and continued brine migration.
