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

This study investigates the feasibility of acoustic signal analysis for the assessment of weld bead quality in the shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) process. The work focuses on comparing time-domain acoustic signals and time-frequency spectrogram representations for the classification of welds as accepted or rejected according to standard welding inspection criteria. Two key acoustic descriptors, the fundamental frequency (F
