High frequency in situ total alkalinity measurement for monitoring ocean alkalinity enhancement field trials.

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
Ocean alkalinity enhancement increases seawater alkalinity to boost carbon dioxide uptake. We report the first field deployment of an autonomous Lab-on-a-Chip total alkalinity analyzer during an ocean alkalinity enhancement trial using magnesium hydroxide slurry. In 2023, the analyzer-co-deployed with pH, salinity, and temperature sensors 60 m from the discharge-performed 314 total alkalinity and 52 onboard certified reference material measurements over 40 days, totaling ~3300 optical readings. High-frequency alkalinity measurements revealed stronger semi-diurnal tidal coherence prior to dosing, followed by reduced coherence and more variable phase relationships as dosing progressed. Over the deployment, total alkalinity relative to a baseline alkalinity-salinity relationship significantly increased by ~40 µmol/kg after ~210 tonnes of alkaline addition and did not return to baseline between dosing intervals, indicating a system memory effect with cumulative alkalinity retention. This autonomous in situ approach captures high-resolution variability relevant to monitoring and verifying alkalinity-based carbon dioxide removal, which is challenging to achieve using discrete bottle sampling.
