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
Autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) navigation in high-density warehouses faces significant challenges due to narrow aisles and complex U-shaped traps. In such environments, traditional sampling-based path planning algorithms often converge slowly and produce suboptimal paths. To solve these issues, a novel hierarchical hybrid planning framework named MEG-RRT* (Multi-objective Evolutionary Guided RRT*) is proposed in this study. The proposed MEG-RRT* integrates an optimization engine based on NSGA-II into the sampling process. It guides exploration direction away from local minima by jointly optimizing convergence efficiency and safety-related objectives. Furthermore, a geometry-aware execution layer is introduced to improve motion through narrow passages and to refine the path structure. This layer includes radar-guided steering, adaptive step-size control, and ancestor shortcut operations. Comparative experiments were conducted in simulated scenarios of complex narrow passages and high-density warehouses to verify the superiority of the proposed MEG-RRT*. In complex narrow passages, the proposed algorithm achieves a 100% success rate; it also reduces convergence time by 43.5% compared to standard RRT* and by 44.9% compared to Informed-RRT*. In warehouse environments, it generates smooth, kinematically favorable paths that are 39% shorter than those produced by RRT-Connect. These results demonstrate that MEG-RRT* balances exploration efficiency and solution optimality, making it well suited for automated logistics applications.
