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
This paper presents a hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Grey Wolf Optimizer (PSO-GWO) approach for optimal slip coordination and power management of converter-free grid-connected parallel induction generators (2.2 kW and 5.5 kW) in micro-hydro power plants. The methodology addresses multi-objective optimization of slip values for maximum power extraction, inrush current mitigation through intelligent synchronization, and power flow coordination without power electronic converters. The hybrid PSO-GWO achieves superior convergence compared to standalone PSO (18.3% faster), GWO (12.7% faster), and five recent hybrid methods (AGWOPSO, HFPSO, FFA, HCHOPSO, PSO-AHA), attaining 96.4% global optimum detection rate across 500 Monte Carlo simulations confirmed by the Wilcoxon rank-sum test ([Formula: see text] for all comparisons). Experimental validation demonstrates 68.8% inrush current reduction (45.2 A to 14.1 A), 126% active power improvement through optimal slip matching (2328 W to 5262 W), and 74-79% cost reduction ($960 versus $3,650-$4,650). The optimization identifies the Pareto-optimal slip range of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] with power factor between 0.85 and 0.92. A comprehensive distribution network model incorporating transformer and feeder impedances validates voltage regulation within ±4.2% at the point of common coupling, with uncertainty analysis confirming predictions within instrument accuracy. Robustness evaluation under four fault conditions (LL, LG, LLG, LLL) confirms stable recovery satisfying IEEE Standard 1547-2018 fault ride-through requirements. The proposed approach offers a computationally efficient and economically viable solution for rural electrification with total harmonic distortion below 4.2%.
