Wireless Qi-powered, Multinodal and Multisensory Body Area Network for Mobile Health.
Article in IEEE internet of things journal, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
Wireless, battery-free Body Area Networks (BAN) enable reliable long-term health monitoring with minimal intervention, and have the potential to transform patient care via mobile health monitoring. Current approaches for achieving such battery-free networks are limited in the number, capability, and positioning of sensing nodes-this is related to constraints in power supply, data rate, and working distance requirements between the wireless power source and sensing nodes. Here, we investigate a Qi-based, near-field power transfer scheme that can effectively drive wireless, battery-free, multi-node and multi-sensor BAN over long distances. This consists of a single Qi power source (such as a cellphone), a detached/untethered Passive Intermediate Relay (PIR) (facilitates power transfer from a central Qi source to multiple nodes on the body), and finally individual/detached sensing nodes placed throughout the body. Alongside this power scheme we implement the star network topology of a Gazell protocol to enable the continuous connection of one host to many sensing nodes while minimizing data loss over long temporal periods. The high-power transmission capabilities of Qi enables wireless support for a multitude of sensors (up to 12), and sensing nodes (up to 6) with a single transmitter at long distances (60 cm) and a sample rate of 20 Hz. This scheme is studied both in-vitro and in-vivo on the body.
