Delayed Crosslinking and Plugging Performance of Polyacrylamide Gel Using CaCl
Article in Gels (Basel, Switzerland), 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
Lost circulation is a major technical bottleneck restricting safe and efficient while-drilling plugging operations. Polyacrylamide gel has become a widely used plugging material in drilling engineering. Unlike rigid, cement-like plugging materials, the gel system formed in this study does not develop a hardened, consolidated structure capable of anchoring or binding the drill bit during subsequent drilling operations, thereby eliminating the risk of bit-sticking. Nevertheless, the gel possesses sufficient elastic (viscoelastic) structural strength-reflected in its storage modulus (G')-to effectively resist deformation and displacement under differential pressure, thereby providing reliable fracture-sealing performance, which effectively prevents pipe-sticking risks. However, high-concentration PAM molecular chains easily stretch and entangle in aqueous solution, triggering an abnormal increase in initial viscosity and poor pumpability. Although Ca
