Review on performance assessment of solar stills using computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
Review in Environmental science and pollution research international, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Environmental pollution and water resource management are some of the biggest challenges for the twenty-first century. The utilization of solar energy for water purification through solar stills is an environmental friendly and sustainable approach. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a valuable and cost-effective tool for the simulation of fluid and thermal phenomena in solar stills as well as for their optimization for maximum productivity. The objective of the current study is to present a comprehensive review of the significance of the CFD tool in analysis, performance estimation, and design improvements of solar still. Various studies in this direction are classified according to the comprehensiveness of the modeling approach employed. The approaches are classified into three categories. The assumptions and governing equations for various approaches are presented. It is highlighted that the relatively simpler CFD modeling of only the humid air zone in the solar still, which relies on the availability of experimental data, the modeling approach has now evolved to an advanced level and can give predictive estimates by using only the ambient atmospheric conditions and solar irradiation as input. Various studies are also classified based on configurations, computational domain, and operational and geometrical parametric range. The key results from various CFD studies are summarized.
