Million-year solar wind irradiation recorded in chang'E-5 and chang'E-6 samples.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The long-term effects of Earth's magnetosphere on solar wind (SW) irradiation asymmetry between the lunar nearside and farside, and their implications for space weathering processes, remain poorly characterized. Here, we measure exposure ages and SW-induced amorphous rim thicknesses of individual grains from the Chang'E-5 (CE-5) and Chang'E-6 (CE-6) lunar soils to derive rim growth rates. Comparative analysis of SW irradiation records from CE-5, CE-6, and Apollo (11, 16, 17) samples reveals that CE-6 grains from the southern mid-latitude farside exhibit higher rim growth rates than those from the low-latitude nearside Apollo sites. This trend aligns with simulated lunar surface SW fluxes and is consistent with the hypothesis that reduced SW exposure on the nearside, due to Earth's magnetospheric shielding, may contribute to a persistent hemispheric asymmetry in SW irradiation. However, CE-5 samples from the northern mid-latitude nearside yield unexpectedly high rim growth rates, suggesting the potential involvement of additional local factors. The exact reasons for this anomaly remain unclear and warrant further investigation.
