Sediment transport by Greenland's icebergs.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. 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
Ice-rafted debris (IRD) from Greenland's tidewater glaciers provides key inputs to biogeochemical cycles, sequesters sediment in fjords, and leaves evidence of paleoclimate conditions. Previous work has shown that most IRD is entrained in basal ice, but studies have yet to translate this process knowledge into predictions of IRD export. Here, we combine field data and numerical models to quantify sediment transport in basal ice and estimate IRD fluxes. We present 210 samples of debris-rich icebergs, collected from three fjord systems, showing a long-tailed distribution of sediment concentrations between 0.1% and 45% by mass (3.48% median). Then, we develop a numerical process model of erosion and entrainment to predict the thickness of debris-rich ice layers and the IRD flux from each outlet. Across our selected fjords, we show a first-order relationship between a catchment's ice yield and sediment yield. By extrapolating this relationship across Greenland's marine-terminating outlets, we estimate that icebergs export 454 Mt a
