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

Sonoluminescence, the light emission from bubbles undergoing large volume oscillations, has traditionally been associated with near-spherical bubble collapses in free liquid. In contrast, highly asymmetric bubble collapses near solid boundaries are known to cause surface erosion from transient and extreme pressure build ups. While both phenomena are caused from energy focusing during bubble collapse, a connection between erosion and light emission has not been previously reported. Here, we for the first time observe the highly asymmetric toroidal cavitation bubble collapse leading to erosive effects on the nearby boundary emits light, too. Through multi-modal measurements of the bubble dynamics and the associated phenomena near solid surfaces, we find that light emission occurs exclusively at the sites and time of the most intense flow focusing. Yet, we find no correlation between the occurrence of light emission from sonoluminescence and erosion. This findings reveal that the mechanisms governing energy focusing within the bubble and in the liquid are resulting from distinct energy focusing pathways.
