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
The Yellow River is characterized by water scarcity and high sediment load, leading to significant sedimentation issues in reservoirs. This severely restricts normal operation and contributes to frequent flooding, making it one of the most challenging problems in the Yellow River management. This study focuses on the operation of the Sanmenxia and Xiaolangdi cascade reservoirs, developing a multi-objective model (hydropower generation and sediment transport) and two single-objective models (hydropower generation only and sediment transport only). An innovative method (ESS-NSGA-II) is proposed, combining Efficient Search Space (ESS) with the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) to optimize cascade reservoirs operation. We analyzed the impact and transformation rules of multiple objectives under various optimization schemes. The results indicate a non-linear competitive relationship between the hydropower generation and sediment transport. An extreme case indicates an increase of 0.49 billion kWh in hydropower generation (4.08% increase) leads to greatly reduce the amount of sediment transport (96.25% decrease), while still meeting both water supply and flood control. The findings also indicate that Xiaolangdi reservoir plays a dominant role in the operation of the two reservoirs. The impact of different schemes is mainly reflected in the variation in Xiaolangdi's discharge, with the sediment transport maximization scheme offering greater flood control potential. Furthermore, the efficiency of sediment transport is closely related to hydropower generation: when hydropower is below 12.28 billion kWh, the conversion efficiency from hydropower generation to sediment transport increases significantly. This research reveals the transformation rules between multi-objectives in cascade reservoir operation, providing a scientific basis for water and sediment regulation in the Yellow River Basin and offering valuable insights into prolonging reservoir lifespans.
