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

Mobile-lid tectonics is a first-order feature characterizing the modern Earth, yet its origins remain enigmatic due to a scarcity of ancient terrestrial materials. Detrital zircons provide the most complete archive of Earth's early crust and preserve the only record extending beyond ~4.0 Ga. Here, we combine U XANES oxybarometry with U-Pb and trace element analysis to investigate the igneous cores and metamorphic rims of Hadean-Archean zircon from the Jack Hills, Australia. Igneous cores record consistent, moderately oxidized magma conditions (FMQ-1 to +1), challenging notions of a highly reduced early Earth and supporting models that evoke efficient mantle convection throughout the Hadean. In contrast, redox states and trace element contents show that metamorphic rims record i) high-ƒO
