Updated chronologies for North American small mammal fossil localities in the Neotoma Paleoecology Database.
Article in Scientific data, 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
Community paleoecology is a powerful approach for analyzing ecological communities during long-term climate shifts like the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, but it depends on accurate estimates of species co-occurrences. The Neotoma Paleoecology Database is an open paleodata resource that stores assemblage-level taxonomic, spatial, and temporal information for Quaternary fossil localities. However, its age estimates for many vertebrate fossil localities are based on uncalibrated radiocarbon dates, hindering comparisons with other paleoenvironmental proxies. In order to provide consistent and updated age inferences suitable for broad-scale paleoecological studies, we have reassessed the radiocarbon chronologies for all 14C-dated North American small mammal collections in Neotoma. Here we present the resulting database update, including 2074 radiocarbon dates newly added to Neotoma and new calibrated radiocarbon chronologies for 1553 fossil collections. The new chronologies cover more sites and include more dates than the chronologies previously available in Neotoma. They also provide fossil assemblage age estimates in calendar years, facilitating integration with other data sources. We anticipate that these updates will be useful for various applications in community paleoecology.
