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

Ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) beam shear strength prediction is a complicated process due to the involvement of numerous parameters. The accuracy needed for precise predictions is frequently lacking in current empirical equations and traditional machine learning (ML) techniques. This study proposes hybrid ML models that integrate three nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms-Giant Armadillo Optimization (GOA), Spotted Hyena Optimization (SHO) and Leopard seal optimization (LSA)- Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) to predict the shear strength of UHPC beams. A comprehensive dataset was created from extensive literature reviews and trained and tested on the models using multiple input parameters that affect UHPC's shear capacity. For model assessment, performance metrics, such as coefficient of determination (R
