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

Scientific prediction of migrant worker numbers provides decision-making references for resolving rural talent supply issues. Based on the evolutionary patterns and data features of Chongqing's migrant workers, a new grey prediction model is constructed. The new model is constructed by introducing fractional-order operators in the real domain. In this way, the accumulating order of the traditional N_Verhulst model is optimized. It expands from 1 to all real numbers, thus enhancing its capacity to mine approximately saturated S-shaped time-series data. When the new N_Verhulst model is applied to simulate and predict migrant worker numbers, after optimizing the accumulating order, the mean relative simulation percentage error of the N_Verhulst model reduces from 3.66 to 2.93%, the mean relative forecasting percentage error from 8.02 to 2.18%, and the comprehensive mean relative percentage error from 4.53 to 2.78%. This shows that the optimization boosts the simulation and prediction performance of the N_Verhulst model. The prediction results show that the number of migrant workers in Chongqing will experience an orderly growth, rising from 2.41 million in 2023 to 2.85 million in 2028, with an increase of 18.26% and an average annual growth rate of 3.41%.
