The Lambert Function Should Be in the Engineering Mathematical Toolbox.
Article in Computers & chemical engineering, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Discovered well over two centuries ago and little used for long, the Lambert function has emerged in an increasing number of science and engineering applications in the last couple of decades. Here we present case studies relevant to the diverse interests of chemical engineers. We show how the Lambert function can be used for both analysis and computation. While some of these studies expound on prior literature results, the rest are new. We conjecture that if this tool becomes more widely known, many more instances of application will appear. Therefore, given its simplicity and usefulness, we would reasonably argue that the Lambert function should be included in the standard mathematical toolbox of chemical engineers.
