Interfacial solidification behavior during liquid metal-water interactions.
Article in iScience, 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
Liquid metals have emerged as promising heat transfer media across advanced energy systems. However, under off-normal conditions they may come into direct contact with water, triggering interfacial solidification-a critical yet largely unexplored phenomenon. Taking the steam generator tube rupture accident in lead-cooled fast reactors as a representative scenario, this study combines numerical simulations with dimensionless analysis to investigate interfacial solidification during subcooled water jetting into a high-temperature liquid metal pool. Results reveal that solidification concentrates at the jet front, structural surfaces enclosed by steam bubbles, and entrained liquid metal droplets. Through analysis of interfacial heat exchange mechanisms, dimensionless criteria governing solidification onset under both steady-state and transient conditions are established. The methodology and findings bridge the knowledge gap in lead-water interfacial solidification and provide a transferable framework for broader liquid metal-water systems.
