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

Filling and sealing ventilation leakage are critical strategies for preventing coal spontaneous combustion. Based on the essential conditions for coal self-heating and ignition, this paper comprehensively reviews the research progress, fire-suppression mechanisms, and application limitations of currently used colloidal fire-prevention materials. These materials are categorized into four types: inorganic gels, organic gels, organic/inorganic composite gels, and bioinspired self-adhesive gels. Their respective advantages, disadvantages, and applicabilities are thoroughly discussed. Focusing on bioinspired self-adhesive gels, this review elaborates on their design principles, performance regulation strategies, and potential applications under complex geological conditions. While most existing studies have centered on coal mines in China, the proposed material design philosophy and the integrated "inhibition-sealing-suffocation" fire-prevention system are also highly relevant to other major coal-producing countries, such as India, Australia, and the United States, which face similar challenges of coal fires. Future research should focus on material optimization, green synthesis, multitechnology integration, and intelligent implementation to promote the global engineering application and industrialization of these advanced gel materials.
