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

The Hala'alat Mountain area, situated on the northwestern margin of the Junggar Basin, has traditionally been interpreted as a peripheral uplift with limited hydrocarbon prospectivity. However, recent drilling results have revealed promising shale oil shows in the Permian Fengcheng Formation, suggesting a certain degree of exploration potential in this area. To date, systematic studies on its hydrocarbon generation potential, depositional paleoenvironmental characteristics, and the mechanisms controlling organic matter enrichment remain relatively limited. This study focuses on the Fengcheng Formation black shales in Well HQ-6 from the Hala'alat Mountain area and conducts an integrated chemostratigraphic study to evaluate their source rock potential, reconstruct the depositional paleoenvironment, and elucidate the key controlling factors governing organic matter enrichment. The TOC content of the studied Fengcheng Formation black shales ranges from 0.24 to 2.73% (mean: 1.31%), indicating moderate organic matter abundance overall. The organic matter is mainly Type II
