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

In this study, a novel hybrid metaheuristic algorithm, termed (BES-GO), is proposed for solving benchmark structural design optimization problems, including welded beam design, three-bar truss system optimization, minimizing vertical deflection in an I-beam, optimizing the cost of tubular columns, and minimizing the weight of cantilever beams. The performance of the proposed BES-GO algorithm was compared with ten state-of-the-art metaheuristic algorithms: Bald Eagle Search (BES), Growth Optimizer (GO), Ant Lion Optimizer, Tuna Swarm Optimization, Tunicate Swarm Algorithm, Harris Hawk Optimization, Artificial Gorilla Troops Optimizer, Dingo Optimizer, Particle Swarm Optimization, and Grey Wolf Optimizer. The hybrid algorithm leverages the strengths of both BES and GO techniques to enhance search capabilities and convergence rates. The evaluation, based on the CEC'20 test suite and the selected structural design problems, shows that BES-GO consistently outperformed the other algorithms in terms of convergence speed and achieving optimal solutions, making it a robust and effective tool for structural Optimization.
