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
This study examines the design and implementation of a sensor developed to measure total pressure in supersonic flow conditions using nitrogen as the working fluid. Using a combination of absolute and differential pressure sensors, the total pressure distribution downstream of a nozzle-where normal shock waves are generated-was characterized across a range of low-pressure regimes. The experimental results were employed to validate and calibrate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models, particularly within pressure ranges approaching the limits of continuum mechanics. The validated analyses enabled a more detailed examination of shock-wave behavior under near-continuum conditions, with direct relevance to the operational environment of differentially pumped chambers in Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy (ESEM). Furthermore, an entropy increase across the normal shock wave at low pressures was quantified, attributed to the extended molecular mean free path and local deviations from thermodynamic equilibrium.
