Shear-induced non-monotonic viscosity dependence for model red blood cell suspensions in microvessels.
Article in Biomicrofluidics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
The cell-free layer thickness of an aggregating red blood cell (RBC) suspension in a rectangular microchannel is investigated by hybrid fluid-particle numerical modeling. Several factors affect the suspension viscosity, cell-free layer thickness, and the cell aggregate distribution. These include the hematocrit, vessel size, red cell stiffness, aggregation interaction, and shear rate. In particular, the effect of the shear rate on the cell-free layer thickness is controversial. We found that the suspension viscosity increases along with a decrease in the cell-free layer thickness as the shear rate increases for aggregating model RBCs at low shear rates. At moderate to high shear rates, the cell-free layer thickness increases with the increasing shear rate from medium to strong shear flow for both 10% and 20% red blood cell suspensions.
