A geolocated dataset of German news articles.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The emergence of large language models and the exponential growth of digitized text data have revolutionized research methodologies across a broad range of social sciences. News data is crucial for the social sciences as it provides real-time insights into public discourse and societal trends. In this paper, we provide insights into how news articles can be geolocated and how the texts can then be further analyzed. We collect data from the CommonCrawl News dataset and clean the text data. We then use a named-entity recognition model for geocoding. Finally, we transform the news articles into text embeddings using SBERT, enabling semantic searches within the news data corpus. In the paper, we apply this process to all German news articles and make the German location data, as well as the embeddings, available for download. We compile a dataset containing text embeddings for about 50 million German news articles, of which about 70% include geographic locations. The process can be replicated for news data from other countries.
