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

Submarine landslides can generate catastrophic cascading hazards, including tsunamis. Tectonics and climate have long been hypothesized to influence slope instability, but how they control repeated slope failures over geological time scales is still unclear. In this study from the South China Sea, we find that >90% of the ∼1900-m-thick Plio-Quaternary succession consists of repeated submarine landslide deposits, and they commenced suddenly at about 5.5 Ma. We demonstrate that uplift of the Red River basin and associated strengthening of the Indian Summer Monsoon drive a regime shift in sediment supply, characterized by a sustained increase that persists to the present, steepening the margin slope and promoting sediment overpressure, thereby triggering widespread mass wasting. This study demonstrates a teleconnection between continental tectonic-climatic changes and submarine landslide activity, thereby advancing our understanding of repeated slope-instability phenomena within a source-to-sink stratigraphic framework and contributing to the reconstruction of Earth's history.
