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 carries out a series of complex unsteady three-dimensional (3D) computational analyses that were validated by experimental tests to examine the performance enhancement of a cylindrical shell-and-coil ice storage enclosure by employing various spiral longitudinal fin geometries covering the heat transfer fluid (HTF) tubes throughout the transient process of solid-liquid phase change. The phase change material (PCM) in this work was selected to be water and the tubes and fins were chosen to be made of copper alloy. To study how this type of fin accelerates the charging process, several dimensionless parameters related to the spiral longitudinal fin geometries were defined, which included dimensionless fin length (
