Article in Science progress. 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
The immersed waterjet propulsion method represents an innovative advancement in traditional waterjet propulsion technologies. Unlike previous studies that primarily rely on fluid-induced acoustics theories, such as the Lighthill's equations, this research experimentally validates key parameters affecting radiated noise levels, including jet velocity and nozzle pressure, providing new insights into noise reduction mechanisms in immersed waterjet systems. Through a comparative analysis of noise emission profiles, this study demonstrates that immersed waterjet devices exhibit a substantial reduction in underwater radiated noise, particularly within the critical low-frequency range of 1 to 5 kHz, where the noise reduction is most pronounced. By conducting controlled experimental assessments, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying acoustic features and their influencing factors. Additionally, the study contextualizes its findings within the broader scope of naval propulsion systems, highlighting how immersed waterjet propulsion can significantly enhance stealth capabilities. The key contributions of this study lie in its detailed characterization of radiated noise mechanisms and its provision of empirical evidence that extends beyond theoretical predictions. The results of this study bridge a crucial gap in the literature by offering experimental insights into the radiated noise characteristics of immersed waterjet propulsion, a topic that has been less explored due to operational and technical challenges. Specifically, the immersed waterjet propulsion system demonstrated a reduction in underwater radiated noise by up to 12 dB in the 1 to 5 kHz frequency range compared to traditional stern-type systems under identical conditions. These findings lay a strong foundation for further optimization and application of immersed waterjet propulsion systems in modern naval and commercial vessels.
