Article in Scientific reports, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Recent advancements in photovoltaic water pumping systems (PVWPS) have garnered significant attention from researchers, driven by their reliance on clean solar energy and their potential for sustainable water management. A typical PVWPS configuration includes a three-phase asynchronous motor (ASM) coupled to a centrifugal pump and powered by a photovoltaic (PV) generator. To optimize power extraction from the PV source, a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm is employed in conjunction with a boost converter. The system integrates two main control strategies: an MPPT controller for the three-phase inverter and a Field-Oriented Control (FOC) scheme for the asynchronous motor. This study introduces an enhanced perturbation and observation (P&O) MPPT algorithm featuring adaptive step-size control. The proposed method effectively reduces steady-state oscillations and improves the efficiency of power extraction in PV systems. The second control unit, based on FOC, regulates the induction motor by generating the switching signals for the voltage source inverter (VSI). Together, these control units play a vital role in system operation, contributing to improved efficiency and overall performance. The key innovation of this work lies in the integration of the improved P&O MPPT method. Extensive simulation analyses conducted under various irradiation conditions demonstrate that the enhanced algorithm achieves superior tracking performance compared to conventional P&O methods. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the FOC strategy implemented with a two-level inverter has been experimentally validated. The control approach was executed using a dSPACE DS1104 digital signal processor board in an ASM drive system.
