Automating IoT Data Ingestion Enabling Visual Representation.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The Internet of things has produced several heterogeneous devices and data models for sensors/actuators, physical and virtual. Corresponding data must be aggregated and their models have to be put in relationships with the general knowledge to make them immediately usable by visual analytics tools, APIs, and other devices. In this paper, models and tools for data ingestion and regularization are presented to simplify and enable the automated visual representation of corresponding data. The addressed problems are related to the (i) regularization of the high heterogeneity of data that are available in the IoT devices (physical or virtual) and KPIs (key performance indicators), thus allowing such data in elements of hypercubes to be reported, and (ii) the possibility of providing final users with an index on views and data structures that can be directly exploited by graphical widgets of visual analytics tools, according to different operators. The solution analyzes the loaded data to extract and generate the IoT device model, as well as to create the instances of the device and generate eventual time series. The whole process allows data for visual analytics and dashboarding to be prepared in a few clicks. The proposed IoT device model is compliant with FIWARE NGSI and is supported by a formal definition of data characterization in terms of value type, value unit, and data type. The resulting data model has been enforced into the Snap4City dashboard wizard and tool, which is a GDPR-compliant multitenant architecture. The solution has been developed and validated by considering six different pilots in Europe for collecting big data to monitor and reason people flows and tourism with the aim of improving quality of service; it has been developed in the context of the HERIT-DATA Interreg project and on top of Snap4City infrastructure and tools. The model turned out to be capable of meeting all the requirements of HERIT-DATA, while some of the visual representation tools still need to be updated and furtherly developed to add a few features.
