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

Unfavorable mobility ratios in heterogeneous reservoirs have resulted in progressively poor waterflood sweep efficiency and diminishing production. In order to address this issue, our study has developed amphiphilic-structured nanoparticles aimed at enhancing the microscopic displacement capability and oil displacement efficiency. First, the transport process of Janus nanoparticles in porous media was investigated. During the water flooding, Janus nanoparticle injection, and subsequent water flooding stages, the injection pressure increased in a "stepped" pattern, reaching 0.023, 0.029, and 0.038 MPa, respectively. Second, emulsification effects and emulsion viscosity experiments demonstrated that the amphiphilic structure improved the interaction at the oil-water interface, reducing the seepage resistance of the oil phase through emulsification. In porous media, Janus nanoparticles transported with water exhibit 'self-seeking oil' behavior and interact with the oil phase, reducing the viscosity of the oil phase from 19 to 5 mPa·s at 80 °C. Finally, the core model displacement experiment verified the characteristics of Janus nanoparticles in improving the oil-water mobility ratio. Compared with the water flooding stage, the recovery percent increased by 20.8%, of which 13.7% was attributed to the subsequent water flooding stage. Utilizing the asymmetry of the Janus particle structure can provide an effective path to enhanced oil recovery in inhomogeneous reservoirs.
