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

Volcanic eruptions can deposit ash, or tephra, across the landscape hundreds to thousands of kilometers from the source volcano. The ecological and genetic effects of ancient ashfall events are only known sparsely from the geological record and from modern genomic studies. About 29,000 years ago, a volcanic eruption in the Aleutian archipelago deposited ash across the eastern Beringian mammoth steppe. The resulting Dawson tephra is visible in loess deposits in interior Alaska and Yukon, with thicknesses ranging from 5 to 80 cm at a distance of 1,700 km from its source. To explore the impact of this ashfall event on ecosystem dynamics, we used sedimentary ancient DNA (
