Multimillennial climate-freshwater legacy beneath a large-river delta-front estuary.
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
Offshore relatively fresh groundwater (ORFG; <10 grams per liter) represents an underexplored frontier in addressing global freshwater scarcity, yet its origin, persistence, and vulnerability remain poorly constrained. Here, we reveal a vast climate-driven freshwater reservoir beneath the Pearl River estuary and adjacent shelf. Integrating hydrochemical profiling, isotopic tracing, and groundwater dating, we demonstrate that this ORFG is a relic of ancient meteoric recharge, emplaced during Late Pleistocene sea-level lowstands and preserved beneath the seafloor for tens of millennia.
