Article in PloS one, 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
This manuscript investigates the utilization of waste heat from automobiles, such as exhaust gas and engine coolant water, to run a lithium bromide water Absorption Cooling System (ACS). This study proposed adding a secondary heat exchanger located between the primary heat exchanger and generator. It takes heat from engine coolant water to reduce thermal load on the generator and to enhance the Coefficient of Performance (COP) of the system. The effect of concentration solution, primary heat exchanger effectiveness, and the temperature of main component (generator, condenser, evaporator and absorber) are studied. The results show a COP of 0.79 with a cooling capacity of 5 kW at generator, condenser, evaporator, and absorber temperatures of (90, 40, 10, and 35), respectively. The COP increases as the evaporator temperature increases, and it decreases as the condenser and absorber temperature increases. Also, any increase in the heat exchanger effectiveness will be led to increase the COP. The results show that the addition of a secondary heat exchanger led to reduce the load on the generator by 4% to 7%, and that depends on the operating conditions and the system. In addition, the results examine a significant reduction in CO2 emissions by 1.58 kg/hr. These findings point out to a substantial possibility for lowering thermal emissions and increasing energy efficiency, and that provides a long-term way to use waste energy in automobiles.
