Phosphorus-nitrogen systematics of first-generation planetesimals constrain life-essential element delivery to Earth.

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
Habitability of rocky planets relies on the budgets of life-essential elements (LEEs) in their building blocks. The provenance and geochemistry of the planetesimals that supplied the LEEs to Earth remain debated. Traditional models argue LEE delivery via outer Solar System chondrites, but their 2 to 4 million-year (Myr) accretion ages preclude them as the first feedstock. To investigate the initial LEE distribution, we reconstructed the phosphorus-nitrogen (P-N) budget of the iron meteorite parent bodies (IMPBs), which accreted <1 Myr of Solar System formation. High-pressure-temperature experiments of P-N partitioning between solid and liquid alloys combined with geochemical models reveal higher P/N ratios in outer Solar System IMPBs than in inner ones-a trend reversed in chondrites. This evolution reflects early refractory schreibersite delivery to the outer disk, later curtailed by Jupiter's growth. Further modeling in combination with previous elemental and isotopic data on volatile LEEs suggests that both early and later inner Solar System planetesimals are chief contributors to Earth's LEE inventory.
