Greenland Emissions Contribute to Black Carbon Aerosols in the Arctic Marine Boundary Layer.
Article in Environmental science & technology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Black carbon (BC) is an important short-lived climate forcer that contributes to Arctic warming, yet observations of BC in the Arctic marine boundary layer remain sparse. Here, we report shipborne measurements of refractory BC (rBC) mass and particle mixing state during a cruise from southeast to west Greenland in May-June 2022. Using a single-particle soot photometer (SP2XR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), we characterize both rBC concentrations and individual-particle morphology, representing one of the first ship-based SP2XR data sets in the Arctic marine boundary layer. rBC concentrations were highest in the Greenland coastal region (2.4 ng m-3), compared with the open ocean (1.7 ng m-3) and the marginal ice zone (0.6 ng m-3). Mixing-state analysis shows that 54% of soot particles in coastal air masses were externally mixed, consistent with relatively fresh emissions, whereas most soot particles over the open sea and sea-ice regions were internally mixed, indicative of aged, transported aerosol. FLEXPART modeling suggests BC enhancements along the Greenland coast. Our data indicate that Greenland acts as a regional source of BC to the Arctic marine boundary layer in late spring and early summer, when midlatitude transport is weak.
