A Bionic Peristaltic Process for Enhanced Powder Dispersion in Energetic High-Solid-Loading Slurries.
Article in ACS omega, 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
This study introduces a paddle-less bionic peristaltic mixing process, inspired by intestinal biomechanics, for enhanced powder dispersion in energetic high-solid-loading slurries (80% solids). Periodic elastic conduit compression induces low-shear vortices, substantially reducing energy consumption compared with conventional mechanical stirring in solid propellant preparation. ANSYS Fluent simulations employing dynamic meshing and the Navier-Stokes equations demonstrate bidirectional flows and effective phase homogenization, achieving high-density uniformity after 300 s. Experiments using a NaCl/Al/HTPB solid-propellant simulant identified the optimal operating parameters as an extrusion duration of 3 s, an air pressure of 0.6 MPa, four peristaltic segments, and an intersegment spacing of 5 mm. Under these conditions, the mean density across the five axial sections was 1.513 g·cm
