A Global Dataset of Bathymetric Features Identified with Prominence and Isobaths Analysis.
Article in Scientific data, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 systematic, global-scale characterization of submarine landforms is fundamental to ocean science, yet is often hindered by inconsistent, proprietary, or closed-source methodologies. We address this critical gap by presenting a global dataset of 125,514 bathymetric features derived from the GEBCO_2025 Grid using a novel, reproducible workflow based on topographic prominence and isobath analysis. The dataset includes all features with a prominence greater than 300 meters. Each feature is defined by its peak location and characterized by five nested contour levels, capturing its morphology from base to summit. For each contour level, a comprehensive suite of morphometric attributes is provided, including area, circularity, orientation, and slope. This rich attribution allows for easy filtering and sub-classification; for instance, features with prominence >1000 m and high circularity can be readily isolated to study seamounts. This dataset provides an objective and quantitative foundation for systematic classification, supporting research in marine geology, volcanism, marine biodiversity, oceanography including climate studies, and resource assessment. The data are distributed as OGC-compliant GeoPackage files, and all processing code is openly available and documented to ensure full reproducibility and broad usability.
