Orbital and millennial-scale forcing of the Patagonian Ice Sheet throughout the Last Glacial Cycle.

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.
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
During the Last Glacial Maximum (23,000 to 19,000 years ago), the Patagonian Ice Sheet covered the central chain of the Andes between 38 °S and 55 °S. The paleoclimatic evidence from Patagonia and New Zealand suggests that the maximum glacier expansion of the Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes was desynchronized with the Northern Hemisphere glacial history. Here we present numerical simulations of the Patagonian ice sheet throughout the Last Glacial Cycle. Our analysis suggests that the Patagonian ice sheet had two main periods of advance, during the Marine Isotope Stage 4 and late Marine Isotope Stage 3, experiencing inter-millennial scale variability. We show that the Patagonian Ice Sheet long-term evolution can be attributed to changes in the integrated summer insolation, which combines the summer duration and insolation intensity and has an obliquity-like periodicity. We further suggest that this metric also modulated the behaviour of glaciers over the entire Southern Hemisphere mid-latitudes.
