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
Introduction: Magnetic Induction Hyperthermia (MIH) has emerged as a promising physical approach for tumor treatment and has attracted increasing attention in clinical research. However, most existing studies primarily focus on optimizing magnetic nanoparticle properties and magnetic field parameters, while the heat sink effects induced by blood flow within the treatment region remain insufficiently explored. Methods: In this study, a three-dimensional lung tumor model incorporating vascular structures and laminar blood flow was established based on multiphysics coupling theory. Using the COMSOL Multiphysics finite element platform, the coupled magnetic, electric, and thermal fields during MIH treatment were simulated to analyze the influence of blood flow on temperature distribution. Results: Simulation results demonstrated that, without blood flow, the tumor center temperature rapidly increased to 47.7 °C within 300 s, and the peripheral temperature remained above 42 °C, achieving effective hyperthermia. In contrast, when blood flow was introduced, the heat sink effect significantly reduced the therapeutic temperature-the tumor center dropped to 44.5 °C, and the minimum peripheral temperature decreased to 39.4 °C. Both blood flow velocity and vessel diameter were found to strongly influence the heat sink , with lower flow velocity or smaller vessel diameter will mitigate the effect. Discussion: This study suggests that temperature uniformity during magnetic induction hyperthermia (MIH) can be improved by increasing the number of Helmholtz coil turns, enhancing the excitation current, or optimizing the distribution of magnetic fluid within the tumor region. These findings provide theoretical insights into the role of blood flow in MIH and offer practical guidance for individualized clinical treatment planning.
