Overlapping attempts to falsify and Darwinize the Gaia hypothesis.
Review in Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Evidence for life's manifestation at the planetary scale is compelling, but arguably interpretable in terms of interactive life-environment coevolution rather than homeostatic regulation. Here, I argue that a substantive and testable Gaia hypothesis must invoke an entity that is planetary in scale, habitability-promoting, and life-specific. This necessitates a resolution to Gaia's perennial 'Darwinization problem': there is no
