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 global ocean meridional overturning circulation (GMOC) is central for ocean transport and climate variations. However, a comprehensive picture of its historical mean state and variability remains vague due to limitations in modelling and observing systems. Incorporating observations into models offers a viable approach to reconstructing climate history, yet achieving coherent estimates of GMOC has proven challenging due to difficulties in harmonizing ocean stratification. Here, we demonstrate that multiscale data assimilation that integrates atmospheric and oceanic observations into two coupled models in a dynamically consistent way robustly retrieves the past 80-year GMOC. By diagnosing volcanic eruption-induced North Atlantic cooling and surface buoyancy loss, we show historic volcanic eruption events are imprinted in variability of the rebuilt GMOC. The Mt. Pinatubo (1991) volcanic eruption produces a multidecadal characteristic of the overturning evolution by the chain of enhancing diapycnal mixing - strengthening deep convection - mediated by eddy activities.
