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

In the late stage of oilfield water flooding, the rapid increase in water cut of produced fluids significantly reduces oil well productivity. To tackle the challenge of excessive water production in ultra-high-temperature (150 °C) reservoirs, this study introduces a copolymer (acrylamide/vinylpyrrolidone copolymer, acrylamide/2-acrylanmido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid copolymer)-based gel system. The gelation performance of copolymers with varying compositions and molecular weights was systematically investigated at 150 °C using gelation visualization codes, mechanical strength tests, microstructural analysis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. These approaches provide insights into the thermal and mechanical behavior of the gel under high-temperature conditions. Experimental results show that under optimized conditions-specifically with a vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) content of 30-40% in the copolymer and a copolymer concentration of 1.0 wt%-the gel system exhibited the best performance: a gelation time of 9.5-11 h, storage modulus (G') of 14.7-16.0 Pa, and stability exceeding 6 months at 150 °C. Moreover, increasing the molecular weight from 1.78 × 10
