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

With the rapid development of the internet, phishing attacks have become more diverse, making phishing website detection a key focus in cybersecurity. While machine learning and deep learning have led to various phishing URL detection methods, many remain incomplete, limiting accuracy. This paper proposes CSPPC-BiLSTM, a malicious URL detection model based on BiLSTM (Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory, BiLSTM). The model processes URL character sequences through an embedding layer and captures contextual information via BiLSTM. By integrating CBAM (Convolutional Block Attention Module, CBAM), it applies channel and spatial attention to highlight key features and transforms URL sequence features into a spatial matrix. The SPP (Spatial Pyramid Pooling, SPP) module enables multi-scale pooling. Finally, a fully connected layer fuses features, and dropout regularization enhances robustness. Compared to CharBiLSTM, CSPPC-BiLSTM significantly improves detection accuracy. Evaluated on two datasets, Grambedding (balanced) and Mendeley AK Singh 2020 phish (imbalanced)-and compared with six baselines, it demonstrates strong generalization and accuracy. Ablation experiments confirm the critical role of CBAM and SPP in boosting performance.
