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

Clay minerals are well documented to facilitate the retention of water and organic matter in terrestrial soils, Martian regolith, and meteorites. Yet, the mechanisms underlying water trapping within these mineral-organic matter associations are poorly understood. Here, we investigate these mechanisms with montmorillonite, a smectite clay, populated with carbohydrates of different structures. By capturing relative proportion of bound versus freely exchangeable waters by mass spectrometry during thermogravimetric analysis, we observe up to a 2.3-fold increase in bound waters in samples with adsorbed carbohydrates. Temperature-dependent carbon loss from adsorbed
