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

Complex fingering patterns develop when a low viscosity fluid is injected from a point source into the narrow space between two parallel plates initially saturated with a more viscous, immiscible fluid. We combine historical and new experiments with (a) a constant injection rate; (b) a constant source pressure; and (c) a linearly increasing injection rate, together with numerical simulations based on a model of diffusion limited aggregation (DLA), to show that for viscosity ratios in the range 300-10,000, (i) the finger pattern has a fractal dimension of approximately 1.7 and (ii) the azimuthally-averaged fraction of the area occupied by the fingers, S(r,t), is organised into three regions: an inner region of fixed radius, r < r
