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

Tropical cyclones regularly form above the ocean's largest subsurface oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) in the eastern tropical North Pacific Ocean (ETNP), yet how these powerful storms affect this biogeochemically important region remains unknown. We captured multiple direct and potentially interactive oceanographic effects of a Category 4 hurricane (Bud) during a 2018 research cruise in the ETNP. Profiles and samples collected directly beneath Bud's wake revealed rapid OMZ shoaling of 29 to 50 meters, reaching depths as shallow as 41 meters. Untargeted mass spectrometry-based characterization of organic matter, along with elevated particulate organic carbon and chlorophyll concentrations, demonstrated production and accumulation of distinct organic compounds-including phytoplankton biomarkers-within a hurricane-generated phytoplankton bloom. 16
