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

Arsenic (As) cycling in magmatic systems is influenced by tectonic and magmatic processes, yet its long-term behavior is not well understood. This study uses global whole-rock geochemical data of igneous rocks to examine As concentration variations over geological time. The results show a correlation between As fluctuations and supercontinent cycles, with lower concentrations during supercontinent assembly, linked to deep mantle-derived magmas, and higher concentrations during breakup, related to crustal recycling and shallower magmatic sources. Deeper magmas (< 34 km) have lower As levels, while shallower sources exhibit higher concentrations. Time-series analysis of As in igneous and sedimentary rocks reveals a 436-million-year cyclic pattern, driven by tectonic and magmatic events, with a 220-million-year lag between magmatic arsenic cycling and its effects on sedimentary systems. This study enhances understanding of arsenic cycling, its connections to magmatic differentiation, tectonic evolution, and mineralization, with implications for resource exploration.
