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

The Storegga tsunami, dated to 8150 years ago, disturbed sea floor sediments near its source. Here, we present evidence that sediments as far north as the Kveitehola Trough (75° N) in the NW Barents Sea were affected by the Storegga tsunami. We identified an 18-cm-thick sandy mud unit, characterized by coarser grains at its lower boundary, to be deposited between 8100 and 8600 years BP. The unit contained significantly older foraminiferal tests, radiocarbon dated to between 12,000 and 27,000 years BP, that have been interpreted to be redeposited. In addition, the unit shows elevated signals of terrestrial plant sequences (sedaDNA) and terrestrial steroids. Simulation of the Storegga tsunami reveals strong currents in the shallower parts of the Barents Sea that were capable of moving sediments on the sea floor. We suggest that the tsunami backwash from the inundation of northernmost Norway or Bjørnøya could have carried terrestrial signals to the sediment core location.
