Evidence summary

Every report in one table: how many documents stand behind each sign and each component, the median and spread of the measurements, years and countries. Counted over the same reports that are published on this site.

A report enters a sign's row when the corresponding quantity was measured in it. Median and range are computed only from measurements in per cent, so that units are not mixed; the other measurements count towards the number of reports but not towards the median.

Where no effect was confirmed

Measurements where the value did not change after treatment (2) and cases without a single numeric measurement (2) are listed, not hidden.

Value unchanged

  1. Kazzinc JSC, Tishinsky minechips on the rotor shaft splines and the housing rim teeth, 13 → 13 over 850 m of drilling
  2. Ilyich Mariupol Iron and Steel Worksadded wear of the hollow shaft tooth over 70 days of service

Cases without a numeric measurement

  1. JSC “Avtokolonna No. 1118”Fuel overrun on the route gave way to savings, the worn injection pump stayed in service
  2. JSC Dnipropetrovsk Bakery No. 9Bearings turned freely again, coking disappeared from the friction pairs, top-up stops fell away
