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
Reducing the flow resistance of local components in building transmission and distribution systems is a key pathway to building energy conservation. Here we propose a novel low-resistance optimization method applied to U-bend shape design, with the minor axis a, major axis b, and offset c defined as shape features. The sample size is 150, and the parameter ranges are as follows: [50 mm, 150 mm] for a, [50 mm, 150 mm] for b, and [-30 mm, 30 mm] for c. On this basis, five representative machine learning regression modeling paradigms, including ridge regression, support vector regression, random forest, multilayer perceptron, and Gaussian process regression, are systematically compared, and the model with the best predictive performance is selected as the surrogate model for U-bend optimization. The proposed method is validated through full-scale experiments, numerical simulations, and turbulent energy dissipation. The results show that within a Reynolds number range of 1.0 × 10
