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

Background: The Paleogene chondrichthyan diversity of the southern hemisphere is mostly known in Antarctica, southernmost South America and New Zealand, but records from the southeastern Pacific remain sparse to date. Among these, lamnid sharks (the lineage of the great white shark) are one of the scarcer groups in the southern hemisphere prior to the Eocene; moreover, their occurrences prior to the Neogene remained unreported in the southeastern Pacific. This contribution presents new Paleogene chondrichthyans recovered from two different horizons at Loanco, central Chile, including the first local records of lamnids, with the description of a new species of the genus Methods: Sections of two geologic units were studied. These provided new teeth of chondrichthyans, as well as a single associated tooth set plus fragments of jaw cartilage and vertebrae. The material was taxonomically identified and compared with other local occurrences and other coeval assemblages from the southern hemisphere. Results: This research recognizes a lower Paleocene-lower Eocene assemblage including material referable to
