1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Shear strength of soil plays an essential role in geotechnical properties affecting construction stability. Conventional laboratory testing for determining soil shear strength is often expensive and time-consuming. Therefore, machine learning (ML) methods were employed to predict soil shear strength using geotechnical parameters compiled from previously published literature based on investigations conducted at the Le Trong Tan Geleximco project in western Hanoi, Vietnam. In total, there were 202 samples analyzed, including parameters such as depth, sand percent, loam percent, clay percent, moisture content, wet density, dry density, void ratio, liquid limit, plastic limit, plasticity index, and liquidity index. Four predictive models have been developed and analyzed, including Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest (RF), and Multi-Expression Programming (MEP). The model performance was evaluated using several parameters like coefficient of determination (R
