Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Predicting pressure drop in multiphase flow is crucial for optimizing tubing size, wellhead pressure (WHP), completion design, cost management, and other production-phase objectives. While various correlations and models exist to calculate pressure drops, their accuracy diminishes significantly when applied to outlier datasets beyond their intended parameter ranges. Not only that, as reported by many studies, most of the empirical correlations and mechanistic models have an error, which is quite high and intolerable. This study introduces a novel Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) model for accurately predicting pressure drops in vertical wells carrying multiphase fluids. A comprehensive dataset of 335 experimental records was compiled from diverse sources to encompass a wide range of parameters, ensuring the robustness of the proposed model. Key input parameters include WHP, oil rate, water rate, gas rate, inner diameter, surface temperature, and flow length. The ANFIS model was rigorously evaluated using different methods, such as cross plot, error distribution, Kruskal-Wallis (KW) test, error boxplot and violin graphs, Confidence Interval (CI), and statistical error metrics. The latter includes Average Absolute Percentage Error (AAPE), Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and the coefficient of determination (R²) to prove the ANFIS model's performance. The proposed ANFIS model was compared with the most commonly used published models. Results demonstrate that the ANFIS model outperforms existing methods, achieving an AAPE of 2.92%, an RMSE of 1.9638%, and an R² of 0.9645. KW test, error boxplot, violin graphs, and CI results indicated that the best model for predicting pressure drops is the proposed ANFIS model. These findings establish the ANFIS model as a reliable and superior tool for predicting pressure drops in vertical wells with multiphase flow, offering significant advancements in design accuracy and operational efficiency.
