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

Aerodynamic investigation of a bionic coaxial-rotors unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is performed. According to Chinese parasol seed features and flight requirements, the bionic conceptual design of a coaxial-rotors UAV is described. A solution procedure for the numerical simulation method, based on a multi-reference frame (MRF) model, is expressed, and a verification study is presented using the typical case. The aerodynamic design is conducted for airfoil, blade, and coaxial-rotors interference. The aerodynamic performance of the coaxial rotors is investigated by numerical simulation analysis. The rotor/motor integrated experiment verification is conducted to assess the performance of the coaxial-rotors UAV. The results indicate that the UAV has excellent aerodynamic performance and bionic configuration, allowing it to adapt to task requirements. The bionic UAV has a good cruise power load reach of 8.36 kg/kw, and the cruise flying thrust force is not less than 78 N at coaxial-rotor and rotor-balloon distance ratios of 0.39 and 1.12, respectively. It has the "blocks stability phenomenon" formed by the rotor downwash speed decreases and the balloon's additional negative pressure. The present method and the bionic configuration provide a feasible design and analysis strategy for coaxial-rotors UAVs.
