Research on new ventilation technology for long tunnel construction based on air curtain dust suppression and dust diffusion law.
Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Ventilation during the construction of long tunnels represents a core factor impacting the safety of tunnel engineering projects. Taking Yuanbao Tunnel as the case study, this paper proposed a novel ventilation approach utilizing air curtain machines. By establishing a theoretical model of the barrier efficiency of air curtain machines installed on both sides of the tunnel, the optimal jet parameter (c) of the air curtain machine was determined. A mathematical model was then constructed to describe the diffusion of explosive dust concentration at the tunnel face, aiming to reveal the dynamic distribution law of dust within the tunnel. Additionally, a three-dimensional numerical simulation method was employed to conduct a comparative analysis of the dust removal efficiency between traditional forced ventilation and the new air curtain machine ventilation at varying tunnel depths. Research results reveal that the air curtain barrier efficiency reaches 100% and optimal energy performance is achieved under the working condition with jet thickness of 0.1 m and jet velocity of no less than 10.3 times the polluted air velocity; the ventilation system efficiency of the novel air curtain machine is significantly higher than that of the traditional forced ventilation, and its performance is less susceptible to tunnel depth. Within 15 min of activation, the system reduces dust concentration in the operation area to 2 mg/m
