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

Atmospheric mercury (Hg) emissions represent a persistent global threat to ecosystems and human health. Stable Hg isotopes have emerged as powerful tools to trace historical pollution sources and reconstruct depositional pathways in natural archives. In this study, we present a 4000-year reconstruction of Hg isotopic composition from two Pyrenean lake sediment records (Lake Marboré and Lake Estanya) located along an altitudinal gradient and compare them with those of a nearby ombrotrophic peatland (Estibere mire). Both lakes exhibit a long-term increase in Hg accumulation rates and shifts in isotope values since the onset of the Modern Period (∼16th century), consistent with intensified anthropogenic emissions. However, the isotopic patterns differ: Lake Estanya, located in a lowland area with historical land-use changes, reflects a more localized Hg signal, whereas the high-elevation, remote Lake Marboré preserves a broader regional atmospheric imprint, dominated by wet deposition. The comparison with Estibere mirepristine and situated within the same air mass trajectory as Marboréreveals a consistent offset in Δ
