Application of a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by stadium spectators in global optimization problems.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This paper presents a novel metaheuristic algorithm inspired by the actions of stadium spectators affecting behavior of players during a match which will be called stadium spectators optimizer (SSO) algorithm. The mathematical model of the SSO algorithm is presented and the performance and efficiency of the presented method is tested on some of the well-known mathematical test functions and also CEC-BC-2017 functions. The SSO algorithm is a parameter-free optimization method since it doesn't require any additional parameter setup at any point throughout the optimization process. It seems urgently necessary to design a novel metaheuristic algorithm that is parameter-free and capable of solving any optimization problem without taking into account extra parameters, as the majority of metaheuristic algorithms rely on the configuration of extra parameters to solve different problems efficiently. A positive point for the SSO algorithm can be seen in the results of the suggested technique, which indicate a partial improvement in performance. The results are compared with those of golf optimization algorithm (GOA), Tiki taka optimization algorithm (TTA), Harris Hawks optimization algorithm (HHO), the arithmetic optimization algorithm (AOA), CMA-ES and EBOwithCMAR algorithms. The statistical tests are carried out for the obtained results and the tests reveal the capability of the presented method in solving different optimization problems with different dimensions. SSO algorithm performs comparably and robustly with the state-of-the-art optimization techniques in 14 of the mathematical test functions. For CEC-BC-2017 functions with ten dimensions, EBOwithCMAR performs better than the proposed method. However, for most functions of CEC-BC-2017 with ten dimensions, the SSO algorithm ranks second after EBOwithCMAR, which is an advantage of the SSO since the proposed method performs better than the well-known CMA-ES optimization algorithm. The overall performance of the SSO algorithm in CEC-BC-2017 functions with 10 dimensions was acceptable, in dimension of 30, 50 and 100, the performance of the proposed method in some functions decreased.
