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

Canada's terrestrial ecosystems are critical to the global carbon cycle and are responding to unprecedented climate change and wildfire disturbance. However, our understanding of Canada's historical (~1920-present) carbon cycle is incomplete. There are also no published physically coherent (i.e., those that respect conservation laws) wall-to-wall estimates of all major carbon pools and fluxes for Canada. Existing assessments vary in spatial scale and methodology, yielding notable differences in the magnitude of Canada's land carbon sink. Moreover, inversions and data-driven estimates do not disentangle the relative influence of disturbance, CO
