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

The operating temperature of a submarine cable must be lower than its permissible limit to prevent degradation of the insulation material. Ground conditions influence the heat transfer between the cable and the surrounding soil, thereby affecting both the cable temperature and its economic efficiency. This paper investigates the effect of ground conditions on the thermal performance and economic efficiency of a three-core 220 kV AC XLPE submarine cable. A coupled finite element model based on electromagnetic, thermal, and pore water flow fields is developed and the effects of laying depth, initial temperature, soil thermal conductivity, and permeability on the thermal performance and economic efficiency of the cable are investigated via parametric studies. The results show that the conductor temperature increases with increasing laying depth, and this effect becomes more pronounced at greater laying depths. The conductor temperature increases linearly with increasing initial temperature and decreases nonlinearly with increasing soil thermal conductivity. When the soil permeability is greater than 10
