Unveiling the metallogenic continuum of an Archean craton.
Article in Nature communications, 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
The synchronous formation between 2675-2655 Ma of hydrothermal gold mineralisation in the Kalgoorlie and Kurnalpi Terranes and of magmatic sulfide mineralisation enriched in nickel, copper and platinum-group elements in the South West Terrane of the Archean Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia offers key insights into first-order controls on the genesis of mineral systems. Here we show that hydrothermal and magmatic deposits formed on opposite sides of this craton share four key features: timing, enrichment in incompatible chalcophile elements, positive Δ³³S sulfur isotope signatures, and links to hydrous, metasomatised lithospheric mantle. These commonalities challenge conventional models that treat such mineralised systems as unrelated. Instead, they point to a shared origin: a fertile lithospheric mantle reservoir enriched by crustal recycling, which was subsequently tapped to generate magmas and fluids anomalously endowed in volatiles and metals that migrated through the overlying lithosphere, punctually triggering ore formation. These findings support a unified mineral system model in which mantle processes exert a first-order control over metal endowment of Archean cratons.
