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

With the continuous decline in easily recoverable reserves of conventional oil and gas, the focus of oil and gas exploration and development has gradually shifted toward complex reservoirs, such as low-permeability, tight, high-temperature and high-pressure (HTHP), and strongly heterogeneous reservoirs. Such reservoirs are characterized by complex pore-throat structures, poor seepage capacity, extreme temperature and pressure conditions, and strong heterogeneity. Traditional acidizing technologies face multiple challenges, including short effective penetration distances, system instability at high temperatures, uneven stimulation, and a tendency to induce secondary formation damage, making it difficult to meet the requirements for highly efficient reservoir stimulation. This paper systematically analyzes the petrophysical properties and acidizing challenges of four typical types of complex reservoirs. It reviews the reaction mechanisms, research and development progress, and reservoir adaptability principles of six acid systems, and elaborates on the application value of molecular simulation technology in acid-rock reaction analysis, formulation optimization, and injection regulation. The review indicates that, under extreme operating conditions, existing technologies still suffer from inadequate system stability, limited deep mass transfer, and environmental concerns. Future research should deepen the understanding of multi-scale acid-rock reaction mechanisms, develop composite acid systems tolerant to extreme conditions, and drive the development of acidizing technologies toward refinement and intelligentization.
