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

Ocean productivity is sensitive to climate change, and its decline in recent decades has profoundly impacted the biosphere. Yet its long-term trajectory under global warming remains a topic lacking consensus. To address this question, we use paired ichthyolith and marine barite accumulation rates to investigate marine productivity and associated biological responses during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. We find a widespread increase in pelagic fish productivity, particularly in the Pacific and North Atlantic, that closely tracks export productivity in trend and spatial pattern, suggesting this increase was fueled by enhanced carbon export from the surface ocean. Model simulations support the observed trend, demonstrating that under elevated pCO
