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.

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 study experimentally investigates the bifurcation characteristics and synchronization mechanisms in an aeroelastic system exhibiting nonlinear stall flutter behaviour, with particular emphasis on the influence of varying preset angles of incidence and frequency ratios. To that end, wind tunnel experiments are performed on a NACA 0012 aerofoil, which incorporates structural nonlinearities in stiffness as well as aerodynamic nonlinearities resulting from the dynamic stall effect. Bifurcation routes are identified for preset angles of incidence ranging from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and frequency ratios ([Formula: see text]) between 0.56 and 0.75 by systematically varying the flow speed. The aeroelastic responses in the pitch and plunge are analyzed to determine the onset of Hopf bifurcation and synchronization behaviors within the system. A series of altered bifurcation scenarios exhibiting diverse dynamical behaviours is observed, demonstrating a change in the system's subcriticality, characterized by a decrease in both the subcritical regime and flutter velocity. Synchronization analysis shows strong coupling between the pitch and plunge responses for preset angles ranging from [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text]. However, at [Formula: see text], an asynchronous regime is identified, characterized by the occurrence of low amplitude limit cycle oscillations (LCOs). Additionally, a frequency-specific analysis in the asynchronous regime shows that high-frequency pitch and plunge components remain synchronized, while low-frequency components exhibit intermittent phase synchronization. The novelty of this work lies in presenting the first experimental study that systematically investigates bifurcation and synchronization behaviour across a wide range of preset angles and frequency ratios, providing essential insights for the design of advanced aeroelastic structures.
