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

The performance of a quality of service (QoS) control scheme in a multi-hop wireless body area network (WBAN) based on the IEEE Std. 802.15.6 is evaluated. In medical Internet of Things systems, WBANs are an important technology. In a previous study, an optimal quality of service control scheme that employs a multiplexing layer for priority scheduling and a decomposable error control coding scheme for WBANs were proposed. However, the two-hop extension supported by IEEE Std.802.15.6 has not been considered. Here, the two-hop extension is applied. Then, the packet error ratio, number of transmissions, and energy efficiency of our previously proposed system are compared to a standard scheme under several conditions. Also, novel evaluations based on communication distance are conducted. Numerical results demonstrate that our proposed scheme, in which coding rates change relative to channel conditions, outperforms standard schemes in many aspects. In addition, those systems show the best performance when the communication distance of the first hop equals that of the second hop. In addition, the above result is theoretically clarified.
