Intelligent Pandemic Surveillance via Privacy-Preserving Crowdsensing.
Article in IEEE intelligent systems. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Intelligently responding to a pandemic like Covid-19 requires sophisticated models over accurate real-time data, which is typically lacking at the start, e.g., due to deficient population testing. In such times, crowdsensing of spatially tagged disease-related symptoms provides an alternative way of acquiring real-time insights about the pandemic. Existing crowdsensing systems aggregate and release data for pre-fixed regions, e.g., counties. However, the insights obtained from such aggregates do not provide useful information about smaller regions - e.g., neighborhoods where outbreaks typically occur - and the aggregate-and-release method is vulnerable to privacy attacks. Therefore, we propose a novel differentially private method to obtain accurate insights from crowdsensed data for any number of regions specified by the users (e.g., researchers and a policy makers) without compromising privacy of the data contributors. Our approach, which has been implemented and deployed, informs the development of the future privacy-preserving intelligent systems for longitudinal and spatial data analytics.
