Classification of prestrike types in vacuum interrupter eroded by inrush current based on DC dynamic gap measurement method.
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
The characteristics and types of prestrike are critical factors affecting the performance of vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) in controlled switching. However, there is a lack of studies on the prestrike characteristics and types in vacuum interrupter (VI) after inrush current erosion. This paper investigates the prestrike characteristics and types in VI after inrush current erosion, using a novel method for measuring field emission current under DC voltage. Through experiments, the prestrike characteristics after inrush current erosion were obtained, including prestrike dispersion and prestrike gap. Furthermore, based on the prestrike gap and field emission current, the prestrike types observed in the experiments were classified into three categories: field emission induced prestrike (FEPS), particle-induced prestrike (PPS) and field emission-particle induced prestrike (FE-PPS). The average prestrike gap for these three types were 1.525 mm, 3.809 mm, and 2.887 mm, respectively. PPS showed no significant field emission current, while the field emission current at prestrike moment for FE-PPS was approximately 48.89% of that observed in FEPS. These findings have important implications for the development of controlled switching technology in VCB.
