Coupled sulfur-silicon isotopes reveal supracrustal origin of Archean continents.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 genesis of Archean continental crust through partial melting of hydrous mafic protolith is widely acknowledged, yet the origin of the mafic protolith remains highly contentious. Silicon isotopes and quadruple sulfur isotopes serve as particularly powerful tools in this regard, as they directly trace the source nature of the felsic continent. Here, we integrate whole-rock silicon and sulfur isotopic data of Neoarchean granitoids from the North China Craton to constrain the origin and pathway of their protoliths. These granitoids exhibit non-zero Δ³³S (0.01‰ to - 0.24‰) and elevated δ³⁰Si ( - 0.09‰ to -0.05‰), requiring a supracrustal source and contrasting with the previously reported mantle-like zircon δ
