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

Current research on the Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM)-coated 30-40 nm silica particles (SiO₂) is integrated with deionized (DI) water via the ultrasonication method to overcome the variations in thermal conductivity, poor stability, and limited heat transfer with conventional DI water. During the investigation, the PNIPAM-coated SiO₂ concentration was varied at 0.2 vol%, 0.4 vol%, 0.6 vol%, and 0.8 vol% under forced convection. The thermal performance of heat transfer fluid (HTF) and the reduction of specific heat capacity were studied, and the results are compared with the base (DI water). The results showed that the DI water embedded with 0.6 vol% of PNIPAM-coated SiO₂ exhibited superior thermal performance, like enhanced thermal conductivity (0.706 W/mK at 80 °C), decreased specific heat (4107 J/kg · K), increased viscosity of 1.04 mPa·s, improved heat transfer coefficient of 500.4 W/m
