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

The extreme geochemical enrichment of post-collisional potassium-rich lava in the Alpine-Himalayan orogenic belt has led researchers to hypothesize that enrichment is inherited from a metasomatized mantle source potentially incorporating crustal components. However, direct verification of metasomatic processes remains challenging due to the scarcity of mantle rocks preserving metasomatism records. Here, we report two groups of mantle xenolith entrained in Tibetan ultrapotassic lavas. Integrated petrographic observations, whole-rock geochemistry, and in-situ microanalysis reveal that subcontinental lithospheric mantle exhibits extreme enrichment in both isotopes and incompatible elements. Textural evidence of vein networks and melt pockets in xenoliths indicate the coexistence of carbonate and silicate metasomatic regimes. Considering subduction-collision background, we propose that the recycling of Indian continental materials during collision substantially contributes to the metasomatic enrichment of the Tibetan subcontinental lithospheric mantle.
