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.

Abstract
Condition monitoring of synchronous generators through non-invasive methods is widely requested by maintenance teams for not interfering the machine operation. Among the techniques used, external magnetic field monitoring is a recent strategy with great potential for detecting incipient faults. In this context, this paper proposes the application of a simple strategy with low computational cost to process data of external magnetic field time derivative signals for the purposes of condition monitoring and fault detection in synchronous machines. The information of interest is extracted from changes in the magnetic signature of the synchronous generator, obtained from frequency spectra of monitored signals using induction magnetic field sensors. The process forms a set of time series that reflects constructive and operational characteristics of the machine. The Shewhart control chart method is applied for anomaly detection in these time series, allowing the detection of changes in the machine magnetic signature. This method is employed in an algorithm for continuous condition monitoring of synchronous generators, presenting as output a global change indicator for the multivariable problem associated with magnetic signature monitoring. Correlation matrices are used to improve the algorithm response, filtering series with similar variation patterns associated with detected events. The proposed method is validated through tests on an experimental bench that allows the controlled imposition of faults in a synchronous generator. The proposed global change indicator allows the automatic detection of stator and rotor faults with the machine synchronized with the commercial power grid. The proposed methodology is also applied on data obtained from an equipment installed in a 305 MVA synchronous generator of a hydroelectric power plant where the evolution of an incipient fault, i.e., a mechanical vibration fault, has been detected.
