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

Bubbles will rest at the surface of a liquid bath until their spherical cap drains sufficiently to spontaneously rupture. For large film caps, the memory of initial conditions is believed to be erased due to a visco-gravitational flow, whose velocity increases from the top of the bubble to its base. Consequently, the film thickness has been calculated to be relatively uniform as it thins, regardless of whether the drainage is regulated by shear or elongation. Here, we demonstrate that for large bare bubbles, the film thickness is highly nonuniform throughout drainage, spanning orders of magnitude from top to base. We link the film thickness profile to a universal non-monotonic drainage flow that depends on the bubble thinning rate. These results highlight an unexpected coupling between drainage velocity and bubble thickness profiles and provide critical insight needed to understand the retraction and breakup dynamics of these bubbles upon rupture.
