One chemistry, many pathways: Comparing carbon-negative cement, enhanced weathering, and ocean alkalinity enhancement.
Review in iScience, 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
We compare carbon dioxide removal pathways involving carbon-negative cement and carbonate concrete (CNCm and CNCb), enhanced rock weathering (ERW), and ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE). All ultimately rely on alkalinity from enhanced weathering of alkaline silicate rocks, even when calcium and magnesium are extracted from seawater. We assess them using five practical criteria: carbonation efficiency, measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV), location flexibility, process optimization, and co-benefits. Bicarbonate-dominant carbon sequestration, including OAE, offers high carbonation efficiency, reasonable MRV, coastal or riverine deployment at moderate to alkaline pH, and lower energy use per unit alkalinity. However, co-production of carbon-negative cement or carbonate concrete may be economically most attractive by offsetting carbon storage costs, with further benefits from metal recovery and waste stabilization. We highlight the need for integrative design and systematic optimization.
