The three-dimensional structure of fine-scale, vertical velocities in the Southern Ocean inferred from space.
Article in Communications earth & environment, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Upper ocean vertical velocities link surface properties to the ocean interior and are typically intensified at small-scale fronts. The small footprint of these velocities and their intermittent nature presents a challenge for determining vertical transport over large regions and long time periods. Here, we diagnose vertical velocities by exploiting the high resolution sea surface height observations collected by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography altimeter along with interior hydrographic measurements from ocean gliders. A surface-height-based reconstruction of interior density and velocity fields permits an estimate of vertical velocities by applying the quasi-geostrophic omega equation at fine spatial scales. Vertical velocities are deep-reaching, have horizontal scales as small as 10 km, and commonly exceed 150 m day
