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

The Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithm known for its simple structure and ease of implementation. However, WOA suffers from issues such as premature convergence, low population diversity in the later stages of iteration, slow convergence rate, low convergence accuracy, and an imbalance between exploration and exploitation. In this paper, we proposed an enhanced whale optimization algorithm with multi-strategy (LSEWOA). LSEWOA employs Good Nodes Set Initialization to generate uniformly distributed whale individuals, a newly designed Leader-Followers Search-for-Prey Strategy, a Spiral-based Encircling Prey strategy inspired by the concept of Spiral flight, and an Enhanced Spiral Updating Strategy. Additionally, we redesigned the update mechanism for convergence factor
