In Situ Heavy Crude Oil Upgrading via Catalytic Aquathermolysis with a Nickel-Based Catalyst Deposited Over a Rock Matrix.
Article in ACS omega, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In situ upgrading of heavy crude oil (10.0 °API) was carried out via catalytic aquathermolysis using a nickel-based catalyst impregnated onto a limestone rock matrix at 300 °C and 300 psi for 72 h. The catalyst was effectively retained within the rock matrix and self-activated under reaction conditions, leading to the formation of catalytically active crystalline phases, such as nickel phosphate ([Ni
