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

Thermographic inspections using drones with thermographic cameras have enabled considerable advances in preventive maintenance. In this context, we propose a methodology for prioritizing flight performance to ensure that the equipment is used in the most efficient way, based on the implementation of thermographic technology in the preventive maintenance plans of electric power concessionaires. Based on information about transmission lines obtained from the literature and made available by transmission companies, criteria and alternatives are established, and a methodology for prioritization and application in transmission lines is established using the AHP multicriteria method. Technical, safety, systemic, social, and financial criteria are defined, each containing alternatives, to define their weight and importance. Finally, through analysis of the four established criteria and alternatives, with their respective weights, a tool is obtained that will assist transmission concessionaires in the adequate prioritization of thermographic inspections using RPAS.
