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 cratonic 'roots' of Earth's major continents extend to depths of over 160 km and have remained stable for more than 2.5 billion years due to buoyant, refractory harzburgites formed by Archean mantle melting. However, mantle harzburgites from some global cratons (e.g., Kaapvaal, Siberia, Slave, Rae and Tanzania) show unusual orthopyroxene and silica enrichment, alongside titanium depletion, which cannot be explained by simple melting processes. The origins of the orthopyroxene-rich harzburgites are debated and include high-pressure melting residues, with komatiite melt interaction, or subduction-related silicic melts and fluids. To further investigate this we analysed volatile (H
