Terrestrial temperature history reveals Late Miocene rapid uplift of the northern Tibetan Plateau.

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
Paleoaltimetry data are essential for deciphering the growth trajectory of orogenic plateaus and underlying forcing mechanisms. However, paleoaltitude reconstructions using conventional paleotemperature analysis often have low resolution or large calibration uncertainties. Here, we use Group III alkenones, a marine paleothermometer normally not present in terrestrial basins, to reconstruct paleolake temperatures and refine the paleoelevation history of the Qaidam Basin, northern Tibetan Plateau, during the Late Miocene. Our results reveal a geologically rapid lake-surface cooling of 6.6° ± 1.8°C at either ~11.3 to 10.8 or ~7.7 to 7.6 million years ago (depending on the chronology used). This cooling, benchmarked against coeval sea surface temperatures, indicates a topographic rise of either 1650 ± 450 or 1525 ± 450 meters. Coupled with glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether-based paleotemperatures and existing tectonic records, our findings refine the timing and pace of a rapid uplift event within the final major phase of Tibetan Plateau growth, linked to mantle lithosphere detachment.
