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

Moisture poses a major threat to built heritage through processes such as frost damage, salt crystallization and biological growth, which accelerate stone deterioration. Stone moisture content can be determined non-destructively by spectral reflectance in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) wavelength range. To validate this, large cubic and small cylindrical samples from six stone types, Brick, Euville, Massangis, Neubrunn, Obernkirchen, and Savonnières, with different controlled moisture levels were prepared, and a comprehensive SWIR hyperspectral image dataset was created. The acquired hyperspectral images were processed using the Normalized Relative Arc Lengths (NRAL) method to generate moisture maps that illustrate the spatial distribution of water within each sample. Because moisture distribution is influenced by pore characteristics and grain arrangement, the moisture maps were validated through petrographic examination. For quantitative validation, the mean moisture content of each sample was compared with the corresponding gravimetric moisture content. The results demonstrated strong agreement between the estimated and gravimetric moisture values, with root mean square errors ranging from 1 and 2 g/g  × 100.
