Influence of Rare Earth Elements on Prebiotic Reaction Networks Resembling the Biologically Relevant Krebs Cycle.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Rare earth elements (REEs) are not rare, but rather abundant in the earth's crust and excellent catalysts for a multitude of organic reactions. They have been recently shown to be used in the active sites of bacterial enzymes and thus essential for metabolic processes. However, these elements have so far been disregarded with respect to their possible contributions to the emergence of complex molecules. Here, we investigate the potential of REEs to act as mediators in a prebiotic reaction network resembling the biological Krebs cycle starting from glyoxylate and pyruvate. Special focus is put on a comparison between trivalent REEs and ferrous iron. Reaction products were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Contrary to Fe
