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

Phytoplankton blooms above the seamount Maud Rise in the Antarctic Ocean have been reported but their emerging mechanisms and their importance for the wider Southern Ocean are not well known. We use satellite data spanning over the last two  decades and in-situ data collected from a ship, an underwater glider and Biogeochemical-Argo profiling floats to understand the processes involved in the formation of Maud Rise phytoplankton blooms. We find that the seamount generates upwelling of warm deep water that transports heat, and likely dissolved iron, to the surface via diapycnal mixing. This creates a recurring annular structure of chlorophyll concentration (or chlorophyll halo) in correspondence with the previously observed warm water and sea ice halo over Maud Rise. The in-situ observations reveal integrated chlorophyll-a concentrations of up to 100 mg·m
