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

Mobile devices and sensors have limited battery lifespans, limiting their feasibility for context recognition applications. As a result, there is a need to provide mechanisms for energy-efficient operation of sensors in settings where multiple contexts are monitored simultaneously. Past methods for efficient sensing operation have been hierarchical by first selecting the sensors with the least energy consumption, and then devising individual sensing schedules that trade-off energy and delays. The main limitation of the hierarchical approach is that it does not consider the combined impact of sensor scheduling and sensor selection. We aimed at addressing this limitation by considering the problem holistically and devising an optimization formulation that can simultaneously select the group of sensors while also considering the impact of their triggering schedule. The optimization solution is framed as a Viterbi algorithm that includes mathematical representations for multi-sensor reward functions and modeling of user behavior. Experiment results showed an average improvement of 31% compared to a hierarchical approach.
