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

Piezoelectric atomization is becoming mainstream in the field of inhalation therapy due to its significant advantages. With the rapid development of high-viscosity gene therapy drugs, the demand for piezoelectric atomization devices is increasing. However, conventional piezoelectric atomizers with a single-dimensional energy supply are unable to provide the energy required to atomize high-viscosity liquids. To address this problem, our team has designed a flow tube internal cavitation atomizer (FTICA). This study focuses on dissecting the atomization mechanism of FTICA. In contrast to the widely supported capillary wave hypothesis, our study provides evidence in favor of the cavitation hypothesis, proving that cavitation is the key to atomizing high-viscosity liquids with FTICA. In order to prove that the cavitation is the key to atomizing in the structure of FTICA, the performance of atomization is experimented after changing the cavitation conditions by heating and stirring of the liquids.
