Mid Holocene rapid thinning and rethickening of the East Antarctic ice sheet suggested by glacial isostatic adjustment.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
Understanding East Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics during the mid-Holocene remains challenging due to complex climate interactions. Using Global Navigation Satellite System observations and glacial isostatic adjustment modeling, we investigate the ice-sheet history in the Lützow–Holmbukta region. Here we show that scenarios incorporating modest (65–100 m) ice-sheet re-thickening following previously documented rapid thinning of ~ 400 m between 9 and 6 ka provide improved agreement with geodetic observations compared with global deglaciation models. Our analysis constrains the rheological structure beneath East Antarctica, suggesting a lithospheric thickness of 50–70 km, upper mantle viscosities of 5–7 × 1020 Pa s, and lower mantle viscosities of 6–80 × 1021 Pa s, which show excellent agreement with independent constraints from effective elastic thickness studies and are broadly compatible with seismological estimates. These findings highlight the need to incorporate regional ice-sheet histories when investigating past ice-sheet dynamics, which is essential for understanding present-day behavior and predicting future responses to climate change.
