Detection of Tram Wheel Faults Using MEMS-Based Sensors.
Article in Sensors (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Micro-electromechanical-systems (MEMS) based sensors are used for monitoring the state of machines in condition-based maintenance tasks. This approach is applied at tram depots for the purpose of identifying faulty wheels on trams in order to eliminate defective trams at the entry or dispatch gates. The application of MEMS-based sensors for the detection of wheel faults is the focus of this study. A method for processing of the collected sensor data is developed. It is based on assessing the energy of vibrations at different frequency bands. Maximal Overlap Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (MODWPT) is used for obtaining a description of the sensor data. The task of finding the energy threshold for detecting faulty wheels, frequency band and parameters of MODWPT which most distinctly distinguish the wheels is the goal of the method. The weighted difference (DW) between the extreme values of energy in a frequency band for normal and faulty wheels is proposed as the measure of the ability to distinguish the wheels. The search for the solution is formulated as a discrete optimisation problem of maximising this measure. Both the simulation and experimental results indicate that faulty wheels have greater vibration energy than normal wheels. The properties of this approach are discussed and evaluated.
