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
In this study, an advanced maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control strategy is proposed for a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system using the Hippopotamus Optimization Algorithm (HOA). The Incremental Conductance (IC) MPPT technique is integrated with three control approaches: Integral (I), Proportional-Integral (PI), and Fractional-Order Proportional-Integral (FOPI) controllers. The HOA is employed to optimally tune the controller parameters, and its performance is benchmarked against two other nature-inspired algorithms: the Arithmetic Optimization Algorithm (AOA) and the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO). A 100 kW grid-tied PV system connected to a medium-voltage distribution network is modeled and simulated in MATLAB/Simulink 2025a. The optimization process aims to minimize four classical performance indices: IAE, ISE, ITAE, and ITSE. Simulation results demonstrate that the HOA-based FOPI-IC-MPPT configuration achieves superior dynamic performance, exhibiting a minimum rise time of 0.0073 s and a maximum extracted power of 100.72 kW. Under the IAE criterion, compared to AOA and GWO, the proposed method reduces the rise time by 9.88% and the settling time by 19.73%. Although the GWO-based controller outperformed in certain metrics (e.g., ISE), the HOA-based approach achieved a better trade-off between dynamic response and maximum power tracking accuracy, making it a promising solution for real-time grid-connected PV applications under variable environmental conditions.
