Linking carbonatites, rare earth ores, and subduction-fertilized mantle lithosphere.
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
Continental intraplate magmatism through time has played a crucial role in ancient mass extinctions, landscape evolution, global climate, and volcanism. These magmatic systems are also crucial sources of critical metals, including the rare earth elements (REEs). Nonetheless, the origins of alkaline intraplate magmas, such as carbonatites, remain enigmatic. Here, we use kinematic plate modeling to show that ~35% of the present-day subcontinental lithospheric mantle has experienced substantial subduction-related fertilization in the past 2 billion years. These fertilized mantle domains underlie ~67% of post-1.8-billion-year-old carbonatites and ~72% of magma-related REE ore deposits (and ~92% of Precambrian REE deposits), substantiating a genetic link between the ancient, enriched mantle lithosphere and alkaline intraplate magmatism and associated ore deposits. We find no correlation between the timing of mantle source fertilization and carbonatite formation, indicating that the evolution of these magmas is multistage, including an initial metasomatic "primer" of the mantle lithosphere and a subsequent and disconnected melting "trigger" event responsible for magma generation.
