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

Energy metabolism at the emergence of life has been the topic of intense theoretical and experimental study. Alkaline hydrothermal vents (AHVs) may have facilitated energy transfer and carbon fixation at life's emergence. Specifically, pH separation across vent walls could have been the forerunner to pH separation across cell membranes, with inorganic barriers containing [Ni-]FeS minerals as precursors of metalloenzymes in potentially ancient biological reductive acetyl-CoA Wood-Ljungdahl (WL) and other metabolic pathways. We previously demonstrated pH-gradient-dependent reduction of CO
