Application of Organoclays in Oil-Based Drilling Fluids: A Review.
Review in ACS omega, 2023. 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
Organoclays (OCs), formed by surface modification of clay minerals using organic compounds, are typical additives for providing rheology for oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs). There are different studies on the effect of OCs on the rheological properties of oil-based systems under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) conditions, but finding new OCs as rheology control agents is attractive for drilling fluid engineers. This work reviews different OCs used in OBDFs, namely, organo-montmorillonite (OMMT), organo-sepiolite (OSEP), and organo-palygorskite (OPAL). Furthermore, the structure of OCs in OBDFs, their rheological properties, and the thermal stability of OCs were investigated. Besides, the role of fibrous and layered OCs in enhancing the rheological properties of OBDFs is illustrated. Finally, the synergistic use of different OCs to enhance the thermal stability and rheological properties of the OBDFs is presented. The study highlights research gaps and recommendations for research approaches and potential areas that need further investigation. The application of OCs in OBDFs is a wide field and has huge potential to be developed. The use of OCs in OBDFs will promote development in the oil and gas industry.
