Recurrent evacuation of mantle mush in ocean islands revealed by clinopyroxene from La Palma.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Temporal variations in magma plumbing influence eruption priming and the interpretation of unrest signals, yet remain poorly constrained in low-flux ocean island volcanoes. Here, we examine temporal changes in the active volcanic system beneath La Palma, Canary Islands, using clinopyroxene zoning from the 1712, 1971, and 2021 eruptions. Combining quantitative trace element mapping, thermobarometry, and cluster analysis, we show that preceding all eruptions, an evolved phonolitic crystal mush resided in the upper mantle (∼18-25 km depth) under relatively cool (1000-1025 °C) conditions. At least one week before eruption, basanitic recharge (1100-1150 °C) recycled this mush and promoted magma ascent, potentially with brief stalling in the crust (∼5-10 km). Mafic recharge was critical in unlocking the mush, yet may not represent the immediate eruption trigger. Globally, upper mantle evolved mushes may be common in ocean island basalt volcanoes, and their occurrence is likely controlled by the island evolutionary stage and magma flux.
