mostrados

Mostrados is the masculine plural form of the past participle of the Spanish verb mostrar (to show). It is most commonly used as an adjective meaning "shown" or "displayed," and can also appear in passive constructions with ser or in formal reports to indicate something that has been exhibited or presented. The corresponding feminine forms are mostrada (singular) and mostradas (plural); the singular masculine form is mostrado.

In its adjectival use, mostrados agrees with the noun it modifies: for example, los datos mostrados (the shown data), las imágenes mostradas (the shown images). This usage is common in written Spanish to describe items that have been displayed or presented in a figure, table, or section of a document.

In verbal constructions, most commonly with haber, the past participle appears in fixed form as mostrado: he mostrado, has mostrado, hemos mostrado, han mostrado (I/you/we/they have shown). In these cases, the participle tends not to agree with the object and remains mostrado rather than cambiando to mostrados, though when the participle functions adjectivally before a noun it follows the noun’s gender and number (los resultados mostrados).

The term also appears in technical and UI language to denote items that are currently visible or displayed on a screen, for example, "resultados mostrados" or "elementos mostrados en la diapositiva." Understanding its use helps distinguish between the action of showing something and the state of being shown.
