Remotely extinguishing flames through transient acoustic streaming using time reversal focusing of sound.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Acoustic waves are a possible reusable method to extinguish flames. Previous studies have placed the sound source near the flame or have used standing waves to reach large enough acoustic amplitudes to extinguish it. In this study, a new method is explored: using time reversal in a room to focus transient acoustic waves to the flame to extinguish it. The peak acoustic overpressure level needed to extinguish a candle flame in the middle of the room is 191 dB
