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

Coastal dike failures can lead to severe disasters. However, the impact of soil porosity on hydraulic properties during sea-dike failure induced by overtopping has not been adequately studied. This research develops a numerical simulation method to model sea-dike failure and analyze the influence of soil porosity on hydraulic properties during dike failure. A sediment scour model for bedload and suspended load is employed to simulate soil erosion during dike breaching. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are used to characterize the hydrodynamic properties of breach flow. The results indicate that the breach process of cohesionless dikes can be generally categorized into three stages: lateral erosion of the dike crest, downstream slope erosion, and vertical erosion of the dike crest. The denser the dike, the less susceptible it is to failure, and the longer the breach duration, the larger the residual dike body. The variation in porosity does not affect the dike breach duration or the time of peak flow arrival, but it does influence the peak flow magnitude. The relationship between dike porosity and peak flow rate exhibits a significant positive linear correlation. This research enhances the understanding of the sea-dike failure process and contributes to disaster prevention and mitigation in coastal areas.
