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

The structural reliability of agricultural machinery is critically dependent on bolted joints, with loosening being a significant and prevalent failure mode. Harsh operational environments (intense vibration, impact, corrosion) severely exacerbate loosening risks, compromising machinery performance and safety. Traditional periodic inspections are inadequate for preventing sudden failures induced by loosening, leading to impaired efficiency and safety hazards. This review comprehensively analyzes the unique challenges and opportunities in monitoring bolted joint reliability within agricultural machinery. It covers the following: (1) the status of bolted joint reliability issues (failure modes, impacts, maintenance inadequacies); (2) environmental challenges to joint integrity; (3) evaluation of conventional detection methods; (4) principles and classifications of modern detection technologies (e.g., vibration-based, acoustic, direct measurement, vision-based); and (5) their application status, limitations, and techno-economic hurdles in agriculture. This review identifies significant deficiencies in current technologies for agricultural machinery bolt loosening surveillance, underscoring the pressing need for specialized, dependable, and cost-effective online monitoring systems tailored for agriculture's demanding conditions. Finally, forward-looking research directions are outlined to enhance the reliability and intelligence of structural monitoring for agricultural machinery.
