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
The development of low-porosity and low-permeability oil reservoirs in the Changqing oilfield presents a significant challenge due to the high injection pressure and limited space for profile control and pressure raising. Therefore, the synergistic profile control and flooding technology of polymer microspheres (PMs) and nanoemulsions is proposed, which makes use of the plugging performance of PMs and the pressure-reducing and oil-driving properties of nanoemulsions, with the objective of controlling the water-absorbing profile and increasing the recovery rate. The paper assessed the properties of nanoemulsions and PMs and evaluated their suitability for reservoirs. The construction parameters of profile control and flooding were optimized on an experimental basis. The experimental results demonstrate that the initial particle size of microspheres can more closely match the pore diameter of the formation and that the core exhibits a higher plugging rate after hydration and expansion. Moreover, the nanoemulsion can effectively reduce the interfacial tension, thereby exerting a beneficial effect on pressure reduction. The construction parameters of microspheres and nanoemulsions were optimized by alternately injecting them with 2:1 multistage plugs, and the injected pressure was lowered by 43%, with a high plugging rate and value-added recovery rate of up to 26.5%. Based on the experimental study, 8 well sets of field tests were conducted, and the results demonstrated that the efficiency rate of profile control reached 50%. Furthermore, the average injection pressure of the injected wells decreased by 1.7 MPa, the rise in water content decreased by 2.27%, and the petroleum production increased by 1110.2 tons. The validity period reached 162 days, indicating a positive application effect.
