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

This paper presents a systematic review on possible applications of the Uppaal tool. This tool, an integrated environment for the modeling, validation, and verification of real-time systems modeled as networks of timed automata, is currently used in various domains of science and engineering. A systematic review of the literature from the years 2022 and 2023 was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) procedure. The aim was to identify the current application areas of various versions of the Uppaal tool, including CORA, TIGA, SMC, and Stratego. A total of 188 studies were included in the review. Quantitative information on the distribution of research papers regarding access options, scientific databases, types of papers, and geographical location was obtained. This review highlights the need for further development of the Uppaal tool. In addition, it includes a brief comparison with other mainstream formal validation tools, explores the applicability of different Uppaal versions, and offers practical guidelines for version selection. Finally, key open challenges and their potential solutions are discussed to support future research and tool enhancement.
