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

Hydrodynamic cavitation has been widely applied in micro-fluidic systems. Cavitating flow characteristics are closely related to the fluid properties. In this paper, the cavitation characteristics of Cu nano-fluid in micro-channels were numerically investigated and compared with those of the deionized (DI) water. The mathematical model was verified by comparing the numerical results with the experiment observation. The curved orifice (R = 0.3 mm) was found to have the highest efficiencies of cavitation for both fluids. With the increase of inlet pressure, cavitating jet lengths of the two fluids significantly increased. While, the cavitating jet length of the nano-fluid was shorter than that of the DI water at the same inlet pressure. The cavitation inception number of the DI water and nano-fluid were approximately 0.061 and 0.039, respectively. The results indicate that the nano-particles played negative effects on the cavitation inception. In addition, with the decrease of outlet pressure, the cavitation strength gradually increased and the mass flow rate remained nearly unchanged at the same time.
