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.
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
This study investigates the tectonic and subsurface structure of the Volturno Plain, a region linking the Southern Apennines with active volcanic districts of Campania. Vintage seismic profiles were vectorized, depth-converted, and integrated with historical gravity and magnetic data. The analysis reveals a coastal half-graben structure primarily controlled by NE-trending normal faults, with NW-trending faults that downthrow the carbonate outcrops of the Southern Apennines toward the coast. These fault systems collectively drive subsidence exceeding 5 km beneath the mouth of the Volturno River. Enhanced Horizontal Derivative analysis of gravity data extends fault traces beyond the seismic coverage and helps to characterize major NE-striking fault systems, such as the Mt. Massico and Villa Literno fault zones, which are likely active and exhibit aseismic creep or low-magnitude seismicity. Gravity and magnetic anomalies highlight variations in the thickness of the sedimentary cover within fault-controlled depressions, as well as the presence of volcanic deposits in the southern plain, associated with buried volcanic edifices whose emplacement was influenced by NE- and NW-trending faults. InSAR-derived surface deformation patterns show a partial alignment with these fault systems but also reflect non-tectonic factors such as sediment compaction and anthropogenic activities. Our findings confirm the structural control of NE-trending faults on the plain's evolution and Campanian volcanism. This work fills a knowledge gap regarding the tectonic and structural setting of the carbonate basement in the northern part of the Campanian Plain, for which a map of the depth to the base of the post-Miocene sedimentary cover was not yet available. This paper also highlights the value of integrating legacy seismic and potential field data using modern techniques to unravel the interplay of tectonic and magmatic processes.
