High-precision CA-ID-TIMS zircon U-Pb geochronology: a review of the Neoproterozoic time scale.
Review in National science review, 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
The Neoproterozoic Era is a critical time interval when the Earth experienced fundamental changes, manifested as Snowball Earth climatic extremes, large fluctuations in oceanic and atmospheric compositions, and emergence and rapid diversification of animals. High-precision geochronology of Neoproterozoic stratigraphy is essential for constraining timings, durations, and rates of these major events, and for assessing the synchroneity and nature of interactions between them. Here we review recent advances in the CA-ID-TIMS zircon U-Pb dating method and discuss the factors that influence the choice of method used to date Neoproterozoic stratigraphy. Advances in the temporal calibration of major carbonate carbon isotope excursions, glaciations, and fossil assemblages of the Neoproterozoic using high-precision age constraints, are also reviewed. This enables us to construct a composite carbonate carbon isotope profile for the Neoproterozoic, which is anchored by radio-isotopic ages. Together with available biodiversity metrics, this provides critical insights into the co-evolution of life and environment in the Neoproterozoic.
