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

The formation of hydrocarbons in Earth's interior has traditionally been considered to have biogenic origins; however, growing evidence suggests that some hydrocarbons may instead originate abiotically in the deep carbon cycle. It is widely expected that the Fischer-Tropsch-type (FTT) process, which typically refers to the conversion of inorganic carbon to organic matter in geological settings, may also happen in Earth's interior, but the absence of industrial catalysts and aqueous conditions in deep environments suggest that the FTT process can be very different from that in the chemical industry. Here, we performed extensive ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations (>2.4 ns) to investigate the FTT synthesis in dry mixtures and in aqueous solutions at 10-13 GPa and 1000-1400 K. We found that large hydrocarbon-related species containing C, O, and H (>C
