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 article addresses the state of the art of methodologies for bridge inspection with potential for inclusion in Bridge Management Systems (BMS) and within the scope of the IABSE Task Group 5.9 on Remote Inspection of Bridges. The document covers computer vision approaches, including 3D geometric reconstitution (photogrammetry, LiDAR, and hybrid fusion strategies), damage and component identification (based on heuristics and Artificial Intelligence), and non-contact measurement of key structural parameters (displacements, strains, and modal parameters). Additionally, it addresses techniques for handling the large volumes of data generated by bridge inspections (Big Data), the use of Digital Twins for asset maintenance, and dedicated applications of Augmented Reality based on immersive environments for bridge inspection. These methodologies will contribute to safe, automated, and intelligent assessment and maintenance of bridges, enhancing resilience and lifespan of transportation infrastructure under changing climate.
