Cascading magmatic unrest and aseismic faulting in the Aegean Sea enabled by elastic stress relay.
Article in Science advances, 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
Magma reservoirs commonly exist in clusters and situate within complex fault networks, yet sequential triggering of unrest at multiple reservoirs and faults is rarely observed. We show that the 2025 earthquake swarm in the Christiana-Santorini-Kolumbo complex of the Aegean Sea was driven by elastic stress transfer between two magma reservoirs, a 9-kilometer-long dike, and a 17-kilometer-long, southeast-dipping fault. Pressurization of the magma reservoir under Santorini triggered a dike intrusion originating from a separate magma reservoir under the Kolumbo volcano. The dike, in turn, triggered a moment magnitude ([Formula: see text]) 6.2 aseismic slip transient on a SW-NE trending branch of the Amorgos fault. Episodic bursts of upward-propagating seismicity within the geodetically constrained dike potentially indicate buoyancy-driven, segmented dike opening. We suggest that unrest in rift zones can propagate over spatial scales much larger than individual magma reservoirs and faults via sequential relay of elastic stress.
