Separation of Flexible Rod-like Particle Mixtures by Intersecting Air Flow.
Article in Materials (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Air-induced separation of flexible rod-like particle mixtures in a specific separator is numerically investigated using a coupled Discrete Element Method (DEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach. In the separator, the mixture of flexible rod-like particles of different lengths and material densities deposits under the effect of gravity, and a horizontal airflow stream intersects the particle flow, blowing lighter particles in the mixture to translate horizontally and allowing the heavier ones to fall downwards. The model particles represent flexible biomass materials, specifically tobacco and stem particles. The initial packing density of the particle mixture is 8% by volume. The physical mechanism that causes particle segregation is analyzed. Subsequently, parametric studies are performed to examine the effects of some critical parameters on the extent of segregation, including inflow air velocities, initial particle packing density, volume fraction of heavier particles, particle size distribution, and flow field geometry. Finally, a suggestion is proposed to promote particle segregation in such a type of separator.
