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

Reinforced concrete (RC) beam design currently faces significant challenges from the substantial carbon footprint of cementitious materials and the lack of practical automated tools for simultaneous structural-environmental optimization. To address this, this paper proposes an innovative two-stage framework by utilizing artificial neural networks (ANNs) and deep reinforcement learning (RL) to automate the design of sustainable and low-carbon RC beams. In the first stage, following a comprehensive analysis of 14 machine learning algorithms, an ANN was selected for its superior predictive accuracy. The trained ANN effectively predicts concrete compressive strength (coefficient of determination, R² ≈ 0.85) and carbon dioxide (CO
