500-year paleoclimate record inferred from Greenland Juniper wood contextualizes current climate warming.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Contextualising Arctic warming and sea ice loss requires high-resolution climate proxy archives, which are rare across the high-northern latitudes. Here, we present annually resolved and absolutely dated tree-ring width measurements of living and dry juniper (Juniperus communis) shrubs, as well as herbarium specimens, all from southern Greenland. We develop a continuous chronology for 1526-2023 CE that correlates at 0.67 with mean June‒August temperatures (p < 0.001). We then identify reduced cell wall lignification (i.e., "Blue Rings") during exceptionally cold summers that often occurred after large volcanic eruptions, with Laki in 1783 and Tambora in 1815 CE causing the strongest responses. Our findings at the interface of dendroclimatology and wood anatomy provide a high-resolution paleoclimate record for southern Greenland that places anthropogenic warming in the context of natural climate variability.
