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

Nanofibers have gained recognition as promising materials for air filtration due to their high surface area-to-volume ratio, adjustable porosity, and exceptional mechanical properties. However, optimizing their structural characteristics to maximize filtration efficiency while minimizing pressure drop remains challenging due to the complexity of the electrospinning process. This study presents an artificial intelligence-based methodology to establish relationships between electrospinning parameters, nanofiber morphology, and filtration performance. An advanced statistical approach is used to systematically collect and analyze data, followed by modeling these relationships using artificial neural networks (ANN) and analytical formulas to enhance predictive accuracy. A genetic algorithm (GA) is subsequently utilized to refine electrospinning parameters, facilitating the production of nanofibers with enhanced filtration efficiency and optimized airflow resistance. The optimized nanofiber membranes are validated experimentally to assess their real-world performance. The findings demonstrate the potential of AI-driven design in fine-tuning nanofiber structures for advanced air filtration applications. The optimized sample achieved a filtration efficiency of 96%, a pressure drop of 110.23 Pa, and a quality factor of 0.0297. This study underscores the effectiveness of combining AI with electrospinning to develop high-performance air filtration materials.
