Finding natural [Formula: see text] generation zones in Midcontinent Rift in the U.S. by identifying the geophysical signatures of a serpentinization system.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hydrogen is gaining attention as an energy source for its zero CO2 emission. Hydrogen may be manufactured by breaking down water using solar and wind energy. However, the high cost of manufactured hydrogen makes it uneconomical. Recently, earth scientists have discovered that hydrogen is generated naturally in Earth's crust through a process called serpentinization, and may be extracted with a near-zero CO2 footprint. Serpentinization adds magnetite to the hydrogen source rocks and makes them more magnetic, providing the basis for understanding natural hydrogen systems using geophysics. We investigate the magnetic data over the Iowa section of the Midcontinent Rift and identify the signature of serpentinization in conjunction with gravity and electromagnetic data. Our research results show that a huge volume of igneous rock has undergone serpentinization in the Iowa section of Midcontinent Rift. Consequently, significant accumulation of natural hydrogen may be present under the Iowa farmlands.
