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

Aligned with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and its corresponding global direction, this study aimed to identify and evaluate an environmentally friendly and alternative material to replace conventional synthetic polymers for polymer flooding. Extracting biopolymer solution, characterizing rheological properties, and conducting core-flooding experiments (seawater flood (SWF), secondary polymer flood (PF), and tertiary polymer flood) were experimentally investigated under simulated reservoir conditions (75 °C, 165,000 ppm TDS brine, and 2000 psi pore pressure). Biopolymer solutions were successfully generated from powdered pomegranate peels, and rheological characterizations of solutions with different shear rates, temperatures, and pomegranate-peel concentrations were investigated. Results revealed that significant shear-thinning behavior was pronounced in the biopolymer solutions, where 7% solution was selected for core-flooding tests. 7% solution exhibited 14.4 cP apparent viscosity at 13.2 s
