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

Fast and subject-specific prediction of particle transport in the human airways is central to quantifying aerosol deposition, optimizing inhaled drug delivery, and supporting dose assessment in radiation research. While computational fluid and particle dynamics simulations provide high-fidelity trajectory data, their use in clinical or large-cohort settings remains limited by stringent geometric preprocessing (segmentation quality control, topology repair, surface smoothing, and meshing) and by the high computational cost of coupled airflow-particle tracking. Recent data-driven surrogates have accelerated aspects of airway flow prediction, but most approaches focus on Eulerian flow fields, operate in simplified or two-dimensional settings, and often struggle to generalize across complex three-dimensional anatomies. Especially for particle trajectories in a Lagrangian frame of reference, which are intrinsically multimodal and sensitive to local geometry. In this work we propose a geometry-conditioned
