Stress pinch points from glacial loading modulate magma ascent and storage in continental arcs.
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
Growing evidence indicates that glacial cycles influence volcanic activity, yet the physical mechanisms linking glaciation to magmatic processes in continental arcs remain unclear. We integrate realistic ice and topographic loads with a dike model to evaluate how glaciation modulated magma ascent beneath Mocho-Choshuenco, Chile, during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Ice loading generates a crustal stress "pinch point" that causes dikes rising from lower-crustal reservoirs to stall deeper than under ice-free conditions, effectively shutting off recharge to shallow magma reservoirs. This mechanism explains the ~2-3 km increase in magma storage depth and reduced eruption rates during the LGM without invoking changes in mantle melt supply or reservoir strength. Shutting off recharge also favors magma differentiation, setting the stage for more explosive silicic eruptions during deglaciation once recharge resumes. We identify a parsimonious explanation for glacially-driven shifts in magma composition, storage depth, and eruption rate at Mocho-Choshuenco and arc volcanoes worldwide.
