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

Microwave-assisted de-emulsification is attractive in the processes of petroleum production and refining. The main advantage of microwaves is their direct influence on the surfactant layer at the oil/water interface. Previously, an effective interfacial modification was demonstrated by pulsed microwave irradiation. However, the effect of the modification diminished during the off interval of the pulse irradiation. In this study, two-stage microwave irradiation with different powers and durations was applied as a method to maintain an interfacial effect. The power of the second stage was changed to optimise the modification. Quick modification was obtained by high-power irradiation followed by low-power irradiation. It was confirmed a sustained modification was maintained by a moderate power of the second irradiation. This observation indicates a re-adsorption or re-structure process after the first irradiation is suppressed by the second irradiation. The results open new opportunities to optimise microwave operation in oil/water systems.
