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

The air intake-compression systems of modern aircraft usually use the aero-engine intake and fan/compressor as the main components. Inlet-engine compatibility has always been the key to the stable and safe operation of the propulsion system, including the influence of inlet distortion on the compressor performance and stall margin. Since 1950, theoretical models and experiments on the flow stability and inlet distortion of axial compressors have been released. After the 1990s, numerical methods became important tools. In the 21st century, the new trends of aircraft propulsion system/inlet integration, blended wing body, and stealth capability led to a new direction for the inlet-engine flow matching problem. This review aims to combine the development of both the inlet and the axial compressor components, and provides an overview of the research history, latest progress, and prospects of compressor inlet distortion in inlet-engine compatibility problems. Analytical or numerical models, experiments, and simulations related to inlet distortion problems are summarized.
