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

This paper studies the potential of using a centrifugal pump to handle magnetorheological fluid with the ultimate goal of integrating such a pump directly into a magnetorheological clutch to increase MR actuator life and stabilize performance over time. A centrifugal pump design is proposed, and two prototype sizes are constructed. Experimental characterization of the pumps prototypes reveals that, even with a magnetorheological fluid containing 40% V/V of ferromagnetic microparticles, the standard scaling laws for centrifugal pumps provide accurate predictions of performance with changes in rotation speed. However, the results showed that these laws do not fully account for geometric effects when scaling the pump size due to differences in impeller performance. The results also show that a centrifugal pump of 46 mm in diameter can effectively circulate magnetorheological fluid at a flow rate of 90 mL/min per shear interface in a commercial MR clutch.
