Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
When the photovoltaic arrays are subject to partial shading (PS), their output characteristics show a multi-peak phenomenon. Under this circumstance, it will be a challenge to track the maximum power point (MPP), which impacts power generation efficiency. Therefore, achieving efficient maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in a photovoltaic (PV) system under PS is an important element in enhancing PV system efficiency. To optimize PV array output efficiency under PS conditions, this paper investigates a MPPT algorithm for PV arrays in partial shading environments. This algorithm is optimized and improved accordingly based on the Marine Predator Algorithm (MPA). Firstly, the initial position voltage is modified, which provides a more accurate and stable basis for the subsequent calculation. Next, the mechanism of overstepping is optimized to ensure that the particles will not exceed the preset range in the search process. Then, introducing the elite population guidance mechanism and restart algorithm to speed up the tracking of the entire algorithm. Lastly, the Perturbation and Observation algorithm is added to minimize the power fluctuation and improve tracking accuracy. The improved algorithm and the original algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, and incremental conductance method are embedded in the model of the PV system for the simulation of maximum power point tracking, respectively. Experiments show that the tracking time of the improved algorithm is improved by 32.6%, 76.5%, and 50% compared to the original algorithm, particle swarm algorithm, and incremental conductance method, respectively, under uniform illumination. Under dynamic irradiance conditions, the proposed algorithm has a tracking efficiency of up to 99.95%, which is over 15% higher than the comparison algorithm. The outcomes reveal that the improved algorithm is faster and more efficient in tracking compared to the other three algorithms.
