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

Crashing ocean waves, cappuccino froths, and microfluidic bubble crystals are examples of foamy flows. Foamy flows are critical in numerous natural and industrial processes and remain notoriously difficult to compute as they involve coupled, multiscale physical processes. Computations need to resolve the interactions of the bubbles separated by stable thin liquid films. We present the multilayer volume-of-fluid method (Multi-VOF) that advances the state of the art in simulation capabilities of foamy flows. The method introduces a scheme to handle multiple bubbles that do not coalesce. Multi-VOF is verified and validated with experimental results and complemented with open-source software. We demonstrate capturing of crystalline structures of bubbles in realistic microfluidics devices and foamy flows involving tens of thousands of bubbles in a waterfall. The present technique extends the classical volume-of-fluid methodology and allows for large-scale predictive simulations of flows with multiple interfaces.
