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 interference of moisture in water-bearing coal seams on gas desorption is a key bottleneck restricting the accurate determination of in-situ pressure. In this study, we systematically elucidate the dual inhibition mechanisms of moisture on gas desorption through stepwise volume expansion experiments (moisture content gradient 0-5.11%) combined with multi-scale characterization techniques including low-field nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, and mercury intrusion porosimetry. Two dominant mechanisms are identified: (1) Competitive adsorption, where moisture occupies mesopore surfaces (2–50 nm, dominant pore size 2.2–4.8 nm), leading to a 28.6% reduction in the Langmuir volume (a); (2) Pore throat blockage—capillary liquid bridges form within ink-bottle pores, hindering gas diffusion. Based on these mechanisms, a modified Langmuir model incorporating an adsorption attenuation coefficient (λ) is proposed, and a dual-mode pressure hierarchical/chained inversion algorithm is developed. The hierarchical method achieves a single-stage pressure inversion error < 1.65%, and the chained method shows a full-process inversion error of only 0.59% at a moisture content of 4.85%. The study indicates that the solidification effect of moisture on the pore system can enhance the predictability of pressure evolution. This method provides a theoretical framework for gas disaster prevention and control in water-bearing coal seams and contributes to improved accuracy in in-situ pressure determination.
