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

Fluid media such as water and ethylene glycol are usually quite poor conductors of heat. Nanoparticles can improve the thermal properties of fluids in a remarkable manner. Despite a plethora of experimental and theoretical studies, the underlying physics of heat transport in nanofluids is not yet well understood. Furthermore, the link between nanoscale energy transport and bulk properties of nanofluids is not fully established. This paper presents a thermal conductivity model, encapsulating solid-liquid interfacial thermal resistance, particle shape factor and the variation of thermal conductivity across a physisorbed fluidic layer on a nanoparticle surface. The developed model for thermal conductivity integrates the interfacial Kapitza resistance, the characteristics of a nanolayer, convective diffusion and surface energy with capillary condensation. In addition, the thickness of the nanolayer is predicted using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) isotherms and micro/nano-menisci generated pressures of condensation. Such a comprehensive model for thermal conductivity of nanoparticles and systematic study has not hitherto been reported in the literature. The thermal conductivity model is evaluated using experimental data available in open literature.
