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

Climate records for the early Pleistocene in eastern Africa aid reconstruction of the ecology and landscapes occupied by hominins. Environmental changes associated with alternating wet/dry cycles during this critical interval in hominin evolution are recorded in isotopic profiles from lake sediments from Olduvai Gorge. The Olduvai Gorge Coring Project targeted the depocenter of Paleolake Olduvai, recovering a stratigraphic succession between the Bed I Basalt (~1.90 Ma) and Tuff IF (~1.80 Ma) datums that span hominin fossil horizons in nearby outcrops. Lacustrine claystones from the lower part of this interval are characterized by high C
