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
Complex aerodynamic characteristics and optimal control during the attitude transition of tilt-powered coaxial twin-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent key challenges in flight control design. This study investigates aerodynamic mechanisms and control parameter optimization during the transition of UAVs from vertical to forward flight. By establishing a dynamic model and combining theoretical and numerical analyses, the optimal rotor spacing is determined to be h = 0.5 R. The load distribution and aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft are analyzed at different initial tilt angles during attitude transitions. At an initial tilt angle of δ = 9°, the thrust force increases by 439% compared with that at δ = 3°, and the tip speed increases by 15% and 35% compared with that at δ = 3° and δ = 13°, respectively. The results indicate that a tilt angle of δ = 9° results in a higher turbulent dissipation rate and rotor layout efficiency, with a smoother vortex flow and more orderly distribution. The interference between the twin-rotor tip vortices is relatively weak, resulting in excellent symmetry and aerodynamic stability. Through the improvement of the theoretical model and parameter optimization of a novel tilt-powered coaxial twin-rotor UAV, this study enhances UAV flight stability and provides valuable insights and validation for the further development of UAV technology.
