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

In order to improve the convergence and distribution of a many-objective evolutionary algorithm, this paper proposes an improved NSGA-III algorithm based on weight vector adjustment (called NSGA-III-WA). First, an adaptive weight vector adjustment strategy is proposed to decompose the objective space into several subspaces. According to different subspace densities, the weight vector is sparse or densely adjusted to ensure the uniformity of the weight vector distribution on the Pareto front surface. Secondly, the evolutionary model that combines the new differential evolution strategy and genetic evolution strategy is proposed to generate new individuals and enhance the exploration ability of the weight vector in each subspace. The proposed algorithm is tested on the optimization problem of 3-15 objectives on the DTLZ standard test set and WFG test instances, and it is compared with the five algorithms with better effect. In this paper, the Whitney-Wilcoxon rank-sum test is used to test the significance of the algorithm. The experimental results show that NSGA-III-WA has a good effect in terms of convergence and distribution.
