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

The development of thermally stable fracturing fluids is essential for the effective stimulation of deep and low-permeability reservoirs. The stabilizing additives used in these fluids typically fall into three categories: crosslinking delay molecules, oxygen scavengers, and pH buffers. However, many conventional additives raise toxicity and environmental concerns, prompting the search for safer alternatives. This study investigates the use of sugar alcohols, commonly used as low-calorie sweeteners, as environmentally responsible additives for high-temperature fracturing fluids. A guar-based fluid system was formulated at a pH of 10 and evaluated using a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) rheometer under simulated field pumping conditions at 300 °F for a 90 min period. The viscosity was measured at a shear rate of 100 s
