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

Aquatic animals that live in water often leap out to catch prey in the air, while terrestrial and aerial animals dive into water to hunt aquatic animals. Some animals locomote on the water surface or lap water by repeated slamming and water-exiting motions. These dynamic interactions with the water-air interface have similarities in engineering, where water entry and exit problems play crucial roles in an object crossing the interface in industrial and physical systems. This review examines the physics of water entry and exit in biological systems through fluid mechanics principles originally developed for engineering applications. By identifying common governing forces, we aim to establish connections between biological strategies and engineering solutions, potentially leading innovations in bio-inspired technology.
