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
Background: The truncation level of human airways is an influential factor in the analysis of respiratory flow in numerical simulations. Due to computational limitations and limited resolution of diagnostic medical imaging equipment, a truncated geometry of airways is always investigated. Objective: This study aimed to employ image-based geometries with zero generation and 5 Material and Methods: In this numerical study, computational fluid dynamics was employed to solve the respiratory flow in a realistic human airway model using the large eddy simulation technique coupling with the wall-adapting local eddy-viscosity (WALE) sub-grid scale model. The accuracy of numerical simulations was ensured by examining the large eddy simulation index of quality and Kolmogorov's K Results: The turbulent kinetic energy along the trachea has increased abnormally in the geometry with the zero-generation truncation level, and more severe fluctuations occurred in the velocity field of this geometry, which increased the tendency of each point to rotate. Compared to the extended model, the airflow's more chaotic behavior prevented larger-scale vortices from forming in the geometry with the zero-generation truncation level. Larger-scale vortices in the extended model caused the primary flow passing next to the vortices to accelerate more intensely, increasing the wall shear stress peaks in this geometry. Conclusion: Eliminating the bronchial airways caused changes in tracheal airflow characteristics.
