Cassini CDA observes compositional segregation of Enceladus' ice grains from slow freezing and fragmentation of oceanic spray.

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
Salt-rich ice particles, termed Type 3, are a major compositional group within Enceladus' plume and Saturn's E ring and are thought to represent frozen micrometer-sized aerosolized droplets of Enceladus' salty subsurface ocean. Here, we present an analysis on the basis of ≈1000 mass spectra of individual Type 3 E ring ice grains recorded by Cassini's Cosmic Dust Analyzer (CDA), revealing a large compositional diversity among these grains. We find at least five basic compositional subtypes dominated by either sodium chloride (NaCl), sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO
