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
Alarm systems play crucial roles in industrial process safety. To support tackling the accident that is about to occur after an alarm, a pre-warning method is proposed for a special class of industrial process variables to alert operators about the remaining time to alarm. The main idea of the proposed method is to estimate the remaining time to alarm based on variation rates and mixture entropies of qualitative trends in univariate variables. If the remaining time to alarm is no longer than the pre-warning threshold and its mixture entropy is small enough then a warning is generated to alert the operators. One challenge for the proposed method is how to determine an optimal pre-warning threshold by considering the uncertainties induced by the sample distribution of the remaining time to alarm, subject to the constraint of the required false warning rate. This challenge is addressed by utilizing Bayesian estimation theory to estimate the confidence intervals for all candidates of the pre-warning threshold, and the optimal one is selected as the one whose upper bound of the confidence interval is nearest to the required false warning rate. Another challenge is how to measure the possibility of the current trend segment increasing to the alarm threshold, and this challenge is overcome by adopting the mixture entropy as a possibility measurement. Numerical and industrial examples illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the advantages of the proposed method over the existing methods.
