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

Thawing permafrost will significantly impact regulatory activities in Alaska that are conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect human health and the environment. Many of those activities are in vulnerable rural lands predominantly occupied by Alaska Natives. Temperatures in Alaska-the largest and northernmost of the 50 states-are increasing disproportionately relative to the global average and at a markedly higher rate than in any other state in the Nation. Most land and surface waters in Alaska are underlaid by permafrost (or perennially frozen ground), which stabilizes infrastructure, serves community needs, and shapes ecosystems with unique environmental characteristics.
