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

Micro-tubes have small diameters and thin wall thicknesses. When using double-layer gas-assisted extrusion (DGAE) technology to process micro-tubes, due to the influence of flow resistance, airflow from the inner gas-assisted layer cannot flow into the atmosphere through the lumen. Over time, it will inflate or even fracture the micro-tubes intermittently and periodically. To solve this problem, a new double-layer micro-tube gas-assisted extrusion die was designed in this study. Its mandrel has an independent airway leading to the lumen of the extrudate, with which the gas flow into the lumen of the extrudate can be regulated by employing forced exhaust. Using the new die, we carried out extrusion experiments and numerical calculations. The results show a significant positive correlation between micro-tube deformation and gas flow rate in the lumen of a micro-tube. Without considering the refrigerant distortion of the microtube, the flow rate of forced exhaust should be set equal to that of the gas from the inner gas-assisted layer flow into the micro-tube lumen. By doing this, the problem of the micro-tube being inflated can be eliminated without causing other problems.
