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

Water-lock damage in low-permeability sandstone reservoirs is primarily caused by small pore-throat structures, strong capillary forces, and hydrophilic rock surfaces. Conventional treatment methods mainly target either fluid-interface modification or pore blockage problems separately. In this study, a nanoemulsion/mud acid composite system was developed to achieve a combined effect of fluid interfaces and localized mineral dissolution. Interfacial tension (IFT) measurements, contact angle analysis, constant-rate mercury intrusion (CRMI), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-temperature high-pressure core flooding experiments were conducted to investigate the water-lock removal performance and underlying mechanisms of the composite system. The results demonstrate that the optimized 0.20 wt % nanoemulsion/mud acid system reduced the oil-water interfacial tension to 0.486 × 10
