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

Volcanic ash poses diverse and widespread hazards. Hybrid silicic volcanism - concurrent lava effusion and explosive ash venting - may constitute a significant but poorly quantified source of ash, so far only documented from a small number of eruptions, most notably the 2011-2012 eruption of Cordón Caulle (Chile). From that eruption, veneers of ash found welded on lava fractures have been attributed to the hybrid activity. Here, we report similar ash veneers from Holocene rhyolitic lavas at Torfajökull, Iceland, and Lipari, Italy. Focusing on the 877 CE Hrafntinnuhraun eruption of Torfajökull, we highlight that these veneers are widespread across its lavas, indicating that, similar to Cordón Caulle, Hrafntinnuhraun experienced long-lived ash venting alongside lava effusion. We develop a quantitative ash capture model based on textural complexities within the veneers, anda material and textural complexitiesrgue that hybrid activity is common to silicic volcanism and therefore represents a substantial and under-recognized hazard.
