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

Stable isotope analysis has long been a key approach for reconstructing ancient human and animal diets and mobility in archaeology. Over the past four decades, and particularly during the past decade, isotopic datasets in China have expanded rapidly, creating a clear need for timely updates to comprehensive compilations. Existing compilations primarily focus on human bone carbon and nitrogen isotope data, while omitting animal and plant multi-isotope datasets, as well as strontium isotope records. In this study, we present the Isotope Dataset for Archaeological Biological Remains in China, the most comprehensive dataset to date. It compiles nearly 20,700 isotope measurements (1984-2026) spanning the Palaeolithic to historical periods across major cultural regions. The dataset integrates multi-isotope data (δ
