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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveThe application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the cardiovascular field has been increasingly observed to analyze hemodynamic conditions within intravascular lumens. This study aims to quantitatively elucidate the development of CFD technology on hemodynamics over the past two decades through literature retrieval and bibliometric analysis.

methodsThe literature retrieval is conducted using the Web of Science database, where all academic articles concerning hemodynamic analysis using CFD technology in the past 20 years are included. The retrieval strategy was primarily based on three aspects: time, cardiovascular anatomical parts, and cardiovascular diseases.

resultsOver the past two decades, the publication of CFD-focused articles in the cardiovascular field has grown steadily at an average annual rate of 10.19%, with a stable distribution across anatomical parts. A similar overall trend is observed for research on cardiovascular diseases (11.89% annual growth). However, in recent years, the growth rates for publications on individual diseases have begun to diverge significantly.

conclusionsThe quantitative evidence from literature retrieval and bibliometric analysis shows the continuous development of CFD technology in the cardiovascular field over the past two decades. The consistent distribution of research across different cardiovascular anatomical parts suggests a balanced development process. However, the development of CFD technology on specific cardiovascular diseases might perform distinctively in the coming years.
