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

Silica aerogel-incorporated cementitious composites possess low density and thermal conductivity. Their thermal conductivity is influenced by the interplay of mix composition, pore structure, mineral admixtures, and environmental testing conditions. In this study, a literature-derived database containing 208 data records was established for thermal conductivity prediction. Eight variables were utilized as inputs: aerogel content, water-to-cement ratio (W/C), sand content, foam content, silica fume content, fly ash content, testing temperature, and testing relative humidity. Thermal conductivity was designated as the output. The models developed for this study included XGBoost, random forest (RF), support vector regression (SVR), and their counterparts optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO), which were subsequently compared. Among the optimized models, PSO-SVR showed the most balanced predictive performance, with test-set
