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
The frictional resistance of impeller machinery blades such as aircraft engines, gas turbines, and wind turbines has a decisive impact on their efficiency and energy consumption. Inspired by the micro-tooth structure on the surface of shark skin, microstructural drag reduction technology has become a cutting-edge research direction for improving aerodynamic performance and a continuous focus of researchers over the past 20 years. However, the significant difficulty in fabricating microstructures on three-dimensional curved surfaces has led to the limited widespread application of this technology in engineering. Addressing the issue of drag reduction and efficiency improvement for small axial flow fans (local Reynolds number range: (36,327-40,330), this paper employs Design of Experiments (DOE) combined with high-precision numerical simulation to clarify the drag reduction law of bionic microgroove surfaces and determine the dimensions of bionic microstructures on fan blade surfaces. The steady-state calculation uses the standard k-ω model and simpleFoam solver, while the unsteady Large Eddy Simulation (LES) employs the pimpleFoam solver and WALE subgrid-scale model.
