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

Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane, yet their desiccation releases substantial amounts of carbon dioxide. Changing wetland emissions provide the greatest source of uncertainty in global emissions estimates due to limited data for key tropical carbon sources and sinks, including the Congo Basin. Here we quantified changing swamp forest hydrology, forest productivity and greenhouse gas emissions between 2007 and 2024 using satellite Earth observation and emissions datasets. We show that swamp forests expanded from 195,345 km
