Investigation of Multiphase Flow in a Trifurcation Microchannel-A Benchmark Problem.
Article in Micromachines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The evolution of an interface between two immiscible liquids in a three-branch symmetric microchannel is numerically and experimentally investigated. The main goals of the paper are to correlate the numeric data with the experimental results for the tested flow case and to assess the quality of the VOF procedure to trace the interface using the Fluent commercial code. The focus of the experiments was to characterize the dynamics of the oil-water interface formed in the vicinity of the bifurcation, at the entrance in the main microchannel of 400 microns width and 50 microns height. The oil core surrounded by water is visualized and micro-PIV measurements are performed in water. Experimental results qualitatively and quantitatively confirm the 3D numerical simulations. We propose the present investigated flow as a benchmark case for the study of the interface in a branching microchannel geometry.
