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

Whether Archean arc-like volcanism reflects subduction remains debated. We present high-resolution geochemical data from a well-preserved 3.13-3.10 Ga arc-like volcanic succession in Australia's Pilbara Craton, a rare Archean analog of modern arc volcanism retaining fluid-mobile element concentrations consistent with primary magmatic values. The sequence records three primitive lava series typical of modern arcs: tholeiitic, calc-alkaline, and the oldest stratigraphically extensive genuine boninites. Geochemical modelling shows this melt diversity requires at least two mantle sources with distinct depletion histories. The mantle H
