Enhancing Traceability of Infectious Diseases: A Blockchain-Based Approach.
Article in Information processing & management, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
The global pandemic of COVID-19 has brought significant attentions to three important features of disease direct reporting systems: traceability, reliability, and effectiveness. A traditional disease direct reporting system has a central node of control, with a hierarchical structure that goes up from locals (cities and counties) to regions and eventually reaches a central data repository. Such systems are often prone to easy data loss, arbitrary or unauthorized data changes, and unreliable traceability to individual nodes. Blockchain, as a new disruptive technology, provides a potential solution. Leveraging blockchain's features of decentralization, unforgeability, whole-process traceability, we develop a method for disease information tracing with key components including infectious disease information collection, information chain-style storage, and information query. Our blockchain-based infectious disease traceability method can promptly collect disease information and form the disease information time series blockchain. We demonstrate that the information chain constructed is authentic and transparent, and it can be queried and maintained at any node in the system. Consequently, the infectious disease information on the blockchain can be monitored and queried any time, thereby greatly facilitating the tracing of the propagation paths of infectious diseases.
