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

Coastal blue-carbon burial is vulnerable to climate change, yet marine hydrodynamic effects remain poorly quantified. Here we estimate hydrodynamic effects on carbon accumulation rate (CAR), by integrating global observations across mangroves, marshes and seagrasses with multiple drivers. Across all ecosystems, hydrodynamics explains 11.8-16.2% of CAR variability, whereas within individual ecosystems it explains 14.5-31.4%, 13.2-13.9% and 14.7-17.7% in mangroves, marshes and seagrasses, respectively. Limited tidal ranges leave low-CAR, inundation-tolerant seagrasses more common, whereas larger tidal ranges support broader intertidal habitats for high-CAR mangroves and marshes. Wave forcing shows contrasting relationships with CAR: positive in mangroves and seagrasses, potentially linked to organic matter inputs, but negative in marshes, likely reflecting lateral export. As sea-level rise accelerates and storms intensify, carbon-release risks may become heterogeneous, with marshes most vulnerable and mangroves and seagrasses more conditional and regionally uncertain. These findings provide a hydrodynamic framework for predicting future carbon dynamics.
