Interfacial Rheology of Surfactant-Asphaltene Systems: State of the Art and Implications for Enhanced Oil Recovery.
Review in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 study of the viscoelastic properties of surfactants in Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) has gained significant attention due to the role of interface elasticity in improving oil recovery. Interfacial rheology has been demonstrated to be a valuable tool for designing more efficient surfactant formulations in different industries. This review summarizes the principles and methods used to understand interfacial rheology and its impact on oil recovery. The paper explores key processes, interactions, and parameters that influence the formation of viscous or elastic films in the presence of active components in petroleum systems. The main findings highlight the importance of achieving optimal rigidity and viscoelastic properties at the interface, which promotes the formation of continuous phase threads that can be more easily swept. The review emphasizes the significance of understanding intermolecular interactions between surfactants and asphaltenes, as well as the impact of surfactant concentration on the formation of more viscous or elastic interfaces. Despite the valuable insights provided by interfacial rheology, further research is required to refine surfactant-based EOR strategies to enhance petroleum processing and recovery.
