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

Recently, utilization of surfactant for EOR purposes in carbonate petroleum reservoirs has received the attention of many researchers. Surfactants generally appear to improve oil production through wettability alteration and reduction of interfacial tension (IFT) between oil and water phases. Loss of surfactant due to adsorption process is considered as an unfavorable phenomenon in surfactant flooding while conducting an EOR operation. In this study, a new plant-derived surfactant, called Zyziphus Spina Christi (ZSC), with various magnitudes of salinity is employed. The adsorption behavior of this surfactant is investigated using the conductivity approach to explore the impacts of salt concentration on adsorption rate through batch tests. Core flooding tests are also conducted to study the effects of surfactant/salinity on recovery factor and relative permeability. Employing the kinetics and isotherm models, MgCl
