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 evolution of Earth's continental crust is crucial for understanding geodynamics, climate regulation, and the origins of life. The Paleoproterozoic, marked by the Great Oxidation Event and the consolidation of plate tectonics, was a critical interval for continental growth. While arc magmatism dominates crust formation in the Phanerozoic, its role in earlier Earth history remains uncertain. Three silicic LIPs in the Amazon Craton were emplaced at regular ~90-100 million-year intervals (1980 Ma, 1880 Ma, and 1790 Ma), producing high-temperature (>750 °C) silicic magmas derived from lower crust ( ~ 45 km thick). Our findings demonstrate that LIPs contributed significantly to continental crustal growth through deep-crustal partial melting of Archean-Rhyacian crust. We highlight that silicic LIP magmatism was a fundamental driver of continental differentiation and long-term stability during the Paleoproterozoic.
