Prediction of the outlet flow temperature in a flat plate solar collector using artificial neural network.
Article in Environmental monitoring and assessment, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In the current research, the efficiency of a solar flat plate collector (SFPC) was examined experimentally, while the system was modeled with an artificial neural network (ANN) under semi-arid weather conditions of Rafsanjan, Iran. Based on the backpropagation algorithm, a feedforward neural network was established to estimate and forecast the outlet flow temperature of SFPC. To identify the most appropriate model, the ANN topology hidden layer, the number of hidden neurons, iteration, and statistical indicators were analyzed. In the first ANN modeling (CASE I), five parameters, including solar radiation, inlet flow temperature, flow rate, ambient temperature, and wind speed, were applied in the input layer of the network, while the output flow temperature (subsequently efficiency) was in the output layer. In the second artificial neural network modeling (CASE II), the wind speed was omitted from the input of the ANN model. Results showed that the ANN with four inputs yields more accurate results for both estimation and prediction of outlet flow temperature.
