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

Efficient design of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) requires balancing high electrical output with thermal stability, yet the complex interactions among operating parameters make this a challenging task. Addressing this gap, this study develops an integrated predictive-optimization-decision framework that systematically models PEMFC performance, explores trade-offs, and guides application-specific design choices. The primary innovation lies in combining multi-layer perceptron neural networks (MLPNN) with metaheuristic optimization, particle swarm optimization (PSO), modified particle swarm optimization (MPSO), multi-objective Harris hawks optimization (MOHHO), and multi-objective PSO (MOPSO), followed by decision-making using the additive ratio assessment (ARAS) method. Predictive modeling results demonstrate variable-specific advantages of optimization strategies: PSO-MLPNN yielded superior accuracy for electrical power output prediction (MAPE = 0.233%), while MPSO-MLPNN achieved marginally better accuracy for cell temperature prediction (MAPE = 0.301%). Multi-objective optimization revealed the inherent trade-off between power and temperature, with MOHHO providing broader Pareto fronts and greater diversity than MOPSO.
