Numerical Investigation on Drag Reduction Mechanisms of Biomimetic Microstructure Surfaces.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Biomimetic microstructured surfaces offer a promising passive strategy for drag reduction in marine and aerospace applications. This study employs computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to systematically investigate the drag reduction performance and mechanisms of groove-type microstructures, addressing both geometry selection and dimensional optimization. Three representative geometries (V-groove, blade-groove, and arc-groove) were compared under identical flow conditions (inflow velocity 5 m/s,
