Climate impacts from North American boreal forest fires.
Article in Nature geoscience, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 boreal forest biome is warming rapidly, impacting disturbance regimes and global climate. Boreal forest fires have intensified, initiating both climate warming (positive) and climate cooling (negative) impacts across spatial and temporal scales. Here we estimate climate impacts from boreal fires in Alaska and western Canada between 2001 and 2019 using integrated net radiative forcing metrics combining greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions from combustion, vegetation recovery, greenhouse gas emissions from fire-induced permafrost thaw and changes in surface albedo over a 70-year period. We find that fires across Alaska contributed, on average, to net climate warming (0.35 ± 4.66 W m
