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

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical fiber sensing (OFS) is transforming the capabilities of modern sensing systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive, and higher-performance solutions across diverse applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of AI-enhanced OFS technologies, encompassing both localized sensors such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometers, and Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI), and distributed sensing systems based on Rayleigh, Brillouin, and Raman scattering. A wide range of AI algorithms are discussed, including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and deep neural architectures. The applications of AI in OFS were discussed. AI has been employed to enhance sensor design, optimize interrogation systems, and adaptively tune configurations, as well as to interpret complex sensor outputs for tasks like denoising, classification, event detection, and failure forecasting.
