Ground penetrating radar observations of ancient large-scale deltaic structures in Jezero crater, Mars.
Article in Science advances, 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
The surface of Mars once hosted flowing liquid water and a warmer climate than today, with past water-rock interactions recorded by the carbonate deposits found on its surface. Here, we analyze the depositional setting of the Margin unit, a major magnesium-carbonate deposit near the fluvial inlet to Jezero crater using ground penetrating radar data collected by the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover Radar Imager for Mars Subsurface Experiment (RIMFAX) instrument. We report soundings from more than 35 m belowground, ~1.75 times deeper than other Jezero geologic units explored to date. We identify numerous subsurface features and submeter to hundred-meter scale layering across an ~6.1-km rover traverse. We infer that subsurface reflectors are consistent with buried fluvial features and deltaic foresets, which have experienced multiple erosional-depositional episodes. This work illuminates a well-preserved paleolandscape wherein a deltaic environment developed prior to the formation of the Jezero Western Delta, as early as the Noachian (~4.2 to 3.7 billion years ago).
