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
Aeromagnetic data acquired over the Obudu Plateau, Ikom Mamfe embayment, and Oban Massif was analyzed to evaluate the study area's structural pattern and sedimentary thickness. Data filtering and other enhancement methods with 2-D forward modeling were applied to total magnetic intensity (TMI) data to evaluate the structural pattern, possible mineralization potential, sedimentary thickness, and basement framework disparity. To achieve this aim, several data enhancement techniques such as first vertical derivative (FVD), second vertical derivative (SVD), total horizontal derivative (THD), tilt angle derivative (TAD), analytic signal (AS), upward continuation (UC), low pass filter (LPF), high pass filter (HPF), Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET) and 2-D forward modeling were performed on the TMI data from which the buried subsurface structural lineaments and trends were unraveled. The structural lineaments delineated from the various enhancement operations revealed the major structural orientations of NE-SW. In contrast, the minor geologic structures trend in NNE-SSW, NW-SE, N-S, and E-W directions. These high frequency magnetic anomalies (geologic structures) are caused by post-depositional magmatic intrusions occurring at shallow depth and they have significant control over mineralization. They serve as migration pathways for hydrothermal fluids and accumulation zones for minerals. The depth estimation techniques like source parameter imaging (SPI), standard Euler deconvolution (SED) and 2D forward modelling employed in this study, revealed predominantly shallow depths (< 1400 m). These thin sedimentations are attributed to the widespread presence of Precambrian basement rocks in the Oban Massif and Obudu Plateau as well as the significant basaltic intrusions of Ikom-Mamfe Embayment. Furthermore, the 2-D forward model along the SW-NE profile revealed sediment thickness of 0-700 m overlying intruded metamorphic basement with magnetic susceptibility values ranging from 0.00001 to 0.00625 SI. The model which is highly undulant, revealed two sub-basins separated by the magmatic intrusion.
