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 oscillating in the presence of ultrasound is commonly employed in biomedical applications for drug delivery, ultrasound enhanced thrombolysis, and the transport and manipulation of cells. This is possible because bubbles tend to interact with the ultrasound to undergo periodic shape changes known as shape-mode oscillation, concomitant with the generation of liquid agitation or streaming. This phenomenon is examined both experimentally and theoretically on a single bubble at a frequency of (45 ± 1) kHz. Effects of ultrasonic frequency and power on the flowfield were explored. Experiments revealed different trends in the development of liquid streaming velocities at different acoustic forcing conditions (5.53, 6.80 and 7.02 Vpp), with lowest (0.5 mm/s) and highest (1.1 mm/s) values of time-averaged mean streaming velocity occurring at 6.80 Vpp and 7.02 Vpp, respectively. Simulations captured the simultaneous evolution of bubble-shapes that helped create flow vortices in the liquid surrounding the bubble. These vortices collectively responsible in generating signature patterns in the liquid for a dominant shape-mode of the bubble, and could also generate localised shear stresses for practical application. The velocity and pressure profiles in the liquid around the bubble confirmed the connection of the applied and reflected soundwaves in driving this phenomenon.
