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.

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
Impact artificial seismic sources are gaining popularity in reflection seismic exploration. However, challenges arise due to the uncertain delay between the hammer's acceleration and its impact on the interface, as well as the strong vibrations or pulsed magnetic fields produced during the acceleration process. These factors complicate the synchronous triggering methods typically used in traditional explosive and sledgehammer artificial seismic sources, often resulting in temporal misalignment of the acquired data. To tackle this issue, this study introduces a high-precision synchronous triggering method based on non-contact audio detection. Utilizing an STM32F4 microcontroller as the core hardware, the system collects ambient audio and extracts 39-dimensional acoustic features via Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCC). A lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) model is employed to accurately identify hammer impact events. Additionally, a synchronization time compensation mechanism is implemented to address system processing delays. Results from 300 field tests conducted in three environments-open ground, construction site, and mining tunnel-demonstrate that the system achieves a triggering accuracy of up to 94.6%, with compensated triggering time errors controlled within ±125 μs, thereby meeting the minimum tolerable synchronous triggering error requirement. This study significantly enhances the reliability of impact-type Artificial Seismic Source exploration data and offers insights for the application of sound recognition in engineering surveying and other related fields.
