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.
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 study presents a comparative analysis of three trajectory optimization controllers, particle swarm optimization (PSO)-tuned Nonlinear Fuzzy tuned proportional-integral-derivative (PID), Fuzzy PID, and Conventional PID, for a planting autonomous robot using a differential drive mobile robot (DDMR). The focus is on optimizing the trajectory tracking performance, minimizing positional and orientation errors, and ensuring stability and accuracy in seed planting applications. The PSO algorithm is used to tune the parameters of the Nonlinear Fuzzy PID controller, thereby enhancing its ability to adapt to the system's dynamic and nonlinear nature. The performance of the three controllers is evaluated using various reference trajectories, including rectangular pulses, squares, straight lines, and circular paths, simulated in MATLAB/Simulink. Key performance metrics, such as tracking error, Absolute integral error (IAE), and integral square error (ISE), are analyzed to assess the effectiveness of each controller. Results demonstrate that PSO-FPID achieves significantly lower tracking errors and superior orientation control. For straight-line trajectories, tracking errors were 0.525, 1.529, and 2.992 for PSO-FPID, FPID, and PID, respectively, confirming the advantage of the proposed approach. Overall, the PSO-tuned FPID controller delivers more precise and reliable trajectory tracking, leading to effective seed placement and improved agricultural efficiency.
