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
purposeA nonlinear system reconstruction can theoretically provide timely system reconstruction when designing a real-time image-guided adaptive control for multisource heating for hyperthermia. This clinical need motivates an analysis of the essential mathematical characteristics and constraints of such an approach.
methodsThe implicit function theorem (IFT), the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) necessary condition of optimality, and the Tikhonov-Phillips regularization (TPR) were used to analyze and determine the requirements of the optimal system reconstruction. Two mutually exclusive generic approaches were analyzed to reconstruct the physical system: The traditional full reconstruction and the recently suggested partial reconstruction. Rigorous mathematical analysis based on IFT, KKT, and TPR was provided for all four possible nonlinear reconstructions: (1) Nonlinear noiseless full reconstruction, (2) nonlinear noisy full reconstruction, (3) nonlinear noiseless partial reconstruction, and (4) nonlinear noisy partial reconstruction, when a class of nonlinear formulations of system reconstruction is employed.
resultsEffective numerical algorithms for solving each of the aforementioned four nonlinear reconstructions were introduced and formal derivations and analyses were provided. The analyses revealed the necessity of adding regularization when partial reconstruction is used. Regularization provides the theoretical support for one to uniquely reconstruct the optimal system. It also helps alleviate the negative influences of unavoidable measurement noise. Both theoretical analysis and numerical examples showed the importance of having a good initial guess for accomplishing nonlinear system reconstruction.
conclusionsRegularization is mandatory for partial reconstruction to make it well posed. The Tikhonov-Phillips regularized Gauss-Newton algorithm has nice theoretical performance for partial reconstruction of systems with and without noise. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is a more robust algorithmic option compared to the Gauss-Newton algorithm for nonlinear full reconstruction. A severe limitation of nonlinear reconstruction is the time consuming calculations required for the derivatives of temperatures to unknowns. Developing a method of model reduction or implementing a parallel algorithm can resolve this. The results provided herein are applicable to hyperthermia with blood perfusion nonlinearly depending on temperature and in the presence of thermally significant blood vessels.
