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

In this study, acoustic streaming flows inside micro-channels induced by three different types of obstruction-gaseous bubble, liquid droplet and solid bulge-are compared and investigated experimentally by particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) and numerically using the finite element method (FEM). The micro-channels are made by poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) using soft lithography with low-cost micro-machined mold. The characteristic dimensions of the media are 0.2 mm in diameter, and the oscillation generated by piezoelectric actuators has frequency of 12 kHz and input voltages of 40 V. The experimental results show that in all three obstruction types, a pair of counter-rotating vortical patterns were observed around the semi-circular obstructions. The gaseous bubble creates the strongest vortical streaming flow, which can reach a maximum of 21 mm/s, and the largest u component happens at Y/D = 0. The solid case is the weakest of the three, which can only reach 2 mm/s. The liquid droplet has the largest
