Enhanced oil recovery by using modified ZnO nanocomposites in sandstone oil reservoirs.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Recently, nanocomposites were employed to improve the extraction of oil in different reservoirs. Due to the unique characteristics of nanoparticles such as small size, efficient altering main mechanisms such as IFT, CA, and viscosity reduction, have received wide attention among researchers. This study investigated the application of a newly designed ZnO-cerium N-composite for EOR at reservoir conditions, and the performance was compared to the standalone ZnO nanoparticles. After performing the morphology of the N-composite, the effect of the N-composites on the wettability alteration, interfacial tension, viscosity, Zeta potential, pH, and density was studied at different N-composites concentrations at reservoir conditions. Based on the results of rock/fluid interactions at the static phase, an optimum concentration was chosen for performing dynamic core flooding experiments. At 100 ppm, the highest stability and the highest reduction in capillary force were observed. The presence of Ce in the structure of the N-composite changes the pore volume of ZnO-Ce compared to ZnO nanoparticles, which affects the surface charge. IFT (mN/m), CA (°), and zeta potential (mV) were (22.51, 40.83, and - 44.36), and (30.50, 50.21, and - 31.05) for ZnO-Ce and ZnO, respectively at 100 ppm. By application of the optimized nanofluid in an oil displacement study, RF in the presence of ZnO-Ce, and ZnO were 37.11% and 71.40%, respectively.
