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
Accurate parameter estimation is essential for reliable modeling and performance evaluation of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs). This paper introduces the application of Tianji's Horse Racing Optimization (THRO), a recently developed metaheuristic algorithm, to precisely identify the unknown parameters of a widely used PEMFC model. The proposed THRO-based framework is evaluated on six commercial PEMFC stacks, namely NedStack PS6, Horizon 500W, BCS 500W, 250W, Avista SR-12, and Ballard Mark V, and its performance is benchmarked against five recent metaheuristic algorithms: Flood Algorithm (FLA), Educational Competition Optimizer (ECO), Kepler Optimization Algorithm (KOA), Fata Morgana Algorithm (FATA), and Spider Wasp Optimizer (SWO). Comprehensive comparative and statistical analyses demonstrate that THRO consistently achieves superior parameter identification accuracy, robustness, and solution stability across all tested PEMFC models. In particular, THRO achieves the lowest sum of squared errors (SSE), with values of 2.06, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], 5.25, 1.056, and 0.813 for the NedStack PS6, Horizon 500W, BCS 500W, 250W, Avista SR-12 , and Ballard Mark V PEMFC stacks, respectively. Additionally, THRO attains an extremely low standard deviation levels, indicating strong convergence reliability and resistance to premature stagnation. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness, robustness, and generalization capability of THRO for PEMFC parameter extraction, highlighting its potential as a reliable optimization tool for PEMFC parameter extraction and energy system applications.
