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

This study investigates the morphological evolution of river particles and their mechanical behavior during sediment transport. River particles exhibit distinct shape differences between upstream and downstream sections, with particles becoming progressively rounded downstream. The rounding process is quantitatively described using morphological indices. The analysis reveals upstream particles are more angular, while downstream particles become increasingly rounded due to erosion and abrasion, modeled by a unified abrasion function. The Loop subdivision method effectively simulates this gradual rounding process. Additionally, the Discrete Element Method (DEM) calculates the natural angle of repose for particles with varying erosion levels, showing angles ranging from 38.2° for angular particles to 34.4° for rounded particles, closely matching field observations. The numerical results effectively demonstrate the interlocking effect caused by particle morphology. This research enhances the understanding of sediment transport dynamics and provides a robust framework for modeling particle shape evolution.
