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

Understanding the distribution of physical properties around shallow subducting plate interfaces, where both destructive and "slow" earthquakes occur due to rapid and slower fault slips, respectively, presents a major scientific and disaster mitigation challenge. Pore water is a key factor in understanding the different slip mechanisms and their spatial relationships; however, its distribution remains understudied. In this study, based on marine magnetotelluric survey in Hyuga-nada, southwestern Japan, we identified distinct resistive and conductive anomalies along the plate interface. These anomalies correspond to areas of scarce pore fluid and high concentration area of pore fluids sourced from subducting seamounts (Kyushu-Palau Ridge), respectively. The wet area corresponds to the slow slip area, whereas the dry and transition areas correspond to areas of fast fault slip. These findings provide clear observational evidence that pore fluid distribution correlates with fault rupture behavior.
