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

Fast ice, a consolidated form of sea ice commonly found along the Antarctic margins, plays a critical and multifaceted role in regulating ocean-cryosphere interactions and ecosystem dynamics. While satellite observations and numerical models provide valuable contemporary insights, reconstructing long-term trends and identifying potential environmental drivers requires alternative approaches. In this study, we present a novel method for reconstructing long-term fast-ice dynamics using a high-resolution analysis of a laminated sedimentary record from Northern Victoria Land, Antarctica. By integrating biomarker data, diatom assemblages and image analysis at sub-millimeter scale, we show how laminated deposits accurately reflect fast-ice variability, offering a new tool to investigate periods beyond the reach of direct observation. Our 3700-year record reveals persistent low-frequency cyclic patterns aligned with known solar cycles (Gleissberg and De Vries), pointing to a possible link between solar variability and fast-ice breakup through perturbation of regional atmospheric forcing. These results demonstrate the potential of our approach to resolve past changes and analyze temporal patterns in fast ice behavior during the late Holocene.
