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

A consensus is emerging that carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is indispensable for achieving net-zero targets and managing hard-to-abate greenhouse gas emissions. However, many modeling and quantitative studies fail to represent the complex sociotechnical landscape of CDR, often limiting their scope to a few technological options and providing an incomplete analysis of the trade-offs between deployment benefits and risks. This study addresses this gap through a qualitative, expert-driven assessment of the most significant benefits and risks facing CDR deployment across three Global North (Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom) and three Global South (Brazil, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia) contexts. Methodologically, the study derives its insights from an original data set of
