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

Many-objective truss structure problems from small to large-scale problems with low to high design variables are investigated in this study. Mass, compliance, first natural frequency, and buckling factor are assigned as objective functions. Since there are limited optimization methods that have been developed for solving many-objective truss optimization issues, it is important to assess modern algorithms performance on these issues to develop more effective techniques in the future. Therefore, this study contributes by investigating the comparative performance of eighteen well-established algorithms, in various dimensions, using four metrics for solving challenging truss problems with many objectives. The statistical analysis is performed based on the objective function best mean and standard deviation outcomes, and Friedman's rank test. MMIPDE is the best algorithm as per the overall comparison, while SHAMODE with whale optimisation approach and SHAMODE are the runners-up.•A comparative test to measure the efficiency of eighteen state-of-the-practice methods is performed.•Small to large-scale truss design challenges are proposed for the validation.•The performance is measured using four metrics and Friedman's rank test.
