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

Accurate joint roughness coefficient (JRC) estimation is crucial for understanding rock mass mechanical behavior, yet existing predictive models show limitations in capturing complex morphological characteristics of geological surfaces. This study developed an advanced hybrid ensemble learning methodology (HELIOS-Stack) to enhance JRC prediction accuracy by integrating multiple machine learning models and statistical analysis techniques. The research implemented a hybrid ensemble approach combining random forest regression, XGBoost, LightGBM, support vector regression, multilayer perceptron models, and meta-learner using LightGBM as the final estimator. The study analyzed 112 rock samples using eight statistical parameters. Model performance was evaluated against 12 empirical regression models using comprehensive statistical metrics. HELIOS-Stack achieved exceptional accuracy with R
