Initial survey of blue ice areas for the recovery of old ice in the Sør Rondane mountains (Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica).

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
Blue ice areas have the potential to preserve old ice near the surface, offering valuable archives of past climate beyond the range of continuous deep ice cores. Notably, million-year-old ice has been recovered at shallow depths in the Allan Hills blue ice area, in the Transantarctic Mountains. However, similar sites in other regions of Antarctica remain unexplored. The FROID project aims to identify and sample such old ice near the Belgian Princess Elisabeth Station in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. This report details the first of two field expeditions, conducted during the austral summer of 2024-2025, with the goal of identifying a suitable drilling site for a shallow ice core (up to 200 m) in the Nils Larsen blue ice area. During the field campaign, we collected datasets to assess ice age, thickness and flow velocity, to determine potential and suitability for coring very old ice: (1) 10 m ice cores for absolute dating (
