Secondary Ion-Ice Chemistry in UV-Irradiated Oxygen Ice: New Astrochemical Models Including Bulk Ionic Species.
Article in ACS earth & space chemistry, 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
Although energetic and nonenergetic processing of interstellar dust grain surfaces and ice is thought to be one of the dominant mechanisms for the extraterrestrial synthesis of prebiotic molecules, the role that "ion-ice" chemistry (bulk ion-neutral and ion-ion reactions within the dust-grain ice mantle) plays is still a largely unexplored topic. In this work, we present the results of our study to investigate the astrochemical importance of ions produced within dust grain ice mantles via irradiation by VUV photons, though the methods are applicable to other kinds of ionizing radiation. To this end, we present new models of the chemical evolution of a pure oxygen ice irradiated by UV photons, using a chemical network that explicitly includes bulk reactions involving secondary ions. A comparison of our calculations with previous data suggests that ion-neutral and ion-ion reactions may play a critical role in understanding the chemistry of interstellar ice.
