Low-cost automated GPS, electrical conductivity and temperature sensing device (EC + T Track) and Android platform for water quality monitoring campaigns.
Article in HardwareX, 2023. 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
Environmental and water quality monitoring are of utmost interest in a context where land use changes, uncontrolled agricultural practices, human settlements, tourism and other activities affect a watershed and condition the usage of their surface waters. Such is the case of Mar Menor lagoon in Southeast of Spain, where the EU H2020 SMARTLAGOON project stands and is implementing an intelligent environmental infrastructure and modelling that will let the construction of a digital twin of the lagoon. Performing environmental monitoring is expensive and the number of sampling locations is typically limited by the budget. For this reason, we have developed a low-cost monitoring system that can be integrated in a small-sized buoy and attached to fishing and recreational boats allowing citizens to gather water quality information - i.e. electrical conductivity and temperature - with the use of their smartphones. The usage of such devices leads to key stakeholder engagement and citizen science activities that could enrich and ease the data gathering process.
