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

Traditional petroleum engineering materials have problems such as single functionality and poor environmental adaptability in terms of lost circulation control and enhanced oil recovery. Supramolecular gels, with their dynamic reversible non-covalent network structure, demonstrate unique advantages in this regard. This paper classifies supramolecular gels into hydrogen bond type, metal coordination type, host-guest type, and electrostatic interaction type based on differences in crosslinking structures. It explains the construction principles and characteristics of each type of gel and analyses their application progress in petroleum engineering fields, such as lost circulation control in drilling, temporary plugging in fracturing, and profile control in enhanced oil recovery. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of different systems and future development directions. Research has shown that the molecular design strategy of supramolecular gels can effectively address technical challenges under complex conditions, offering new insights for oil and gas field development. Further optimization of their long-term stability and large-scale production technology is needed to advance their practical application.
