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
Hot dry rock (HDR) is a novel green, low-carbon energy. Its development requires the creation of fracture channels in deep thermal reservoirs. Traditional methods such as hydraulic fracturing have limited effectiveness in reservoir stimulation, so a method of liquid nitrogen cold shock was proposed. The ultralow temperature of liquid nitrogen induces a quenching effect on hot rock, thereby promoting the formation of a complex fracture network. In this study, hot rocks at different temperatures were subjected to cyclic liquid nitrogen cold shocks. The cascading evolution of the "temperature field-thermal stress-pore fracture development-three-dimensional seepage network" was analyzed. The main conclusions are as follows: As the cold-shock duration increased, the core temperature decreased exponentially, with a slower cooling rate at the center and a faster rate at the edges. Additionally, local temperature fluctuations existed at the edges. The maximum radial thermal stress at 200-600 °C ranged from 2.57 to 9.29 MPa. The initial cold shock and temperatures above 300 °C contributed the most to the reduction in wave velocity, with maximum decreases of 70.25 and 55%, respectively. The more developed the pores and fractures within the damaged core, the more pronounced the arrival time lag, frequency shift, and energy attenuation will be. Microscopic pore evolution followed two patterns. At 200-300 °C, the first peak increased significantly, with a few new micropores forming along grain boundaries. At 400-600 °C, the second peak grew and expanded to be dominant. Numerous mesopores formed both along grain boundaries and within grain interiors, interconnecting with the original pores. As the temperature shock effect intensified, the fracture increased and expanded. Branch fractures developed from the main fractures, ultimately forming a fracture network. The orientations of these fractures became more randomly distributed. What's more, the proportion of larger-sized and higher-connectivity pores increased. The flow velocity and flow rate increased significantly, with the maximum values in the representative elementary volume reaching 0.167 m/s and 1.75 × 10
