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

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs) such as seagrass meadows, mangrove forests, and salt marshes are important carbon sinks that store carbon for millennia. Recently, organic matter (OM) sulfurization and pyritization have been proposed as mechanisms of net carbon storage in BCEs. At our study site, organic sulfur that is resistant to acid hydrolysis (protokerogen) is an order of magnitude less abundant than pyrite sulfur, suggesting a dominance of pyritization over sulfurization. C/N ratios and carbon isotope compositions suggest that nearly half of total organic carbon and ≥80% of protokerogen is composed of marsh plant material. Sediment protokerogen appears to be sulfurized based on its low δ
