1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Underwater sediment density currents triggered by marine volcanic eruptions threaten island communities and infrastructure, while their deposits provide archives of past eruptions. Despite their significance, scarce real-time density current observations and concurrent deposit samples limit our understanding of their behaviour and relationship to varying volcanic mechanisms. Using data acquired following the explosive, VEI 6, shallow-submarine eruption of Hunga Volcano in 2022, we show that syn-eruptive delivery of pyroclastic material into the ocean via low-column collapses and fountaining triggered the multidirectional dispersal of highly-concentrated underwater density currents.
