1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 wide spread of the novel COVID-19 virus all over the world has caused major economical and social damages combined with the death of more than two million people so far around the globe. Therefore, the design of a model that can predict the persons that are most likely to be infected is a necessity to control the spread of this infectious disease as well as any other future novel pandemic. In this paper, an Internet of Things (IoT) sensing network is designed to anonymously track the movement of individuals in crowded zones through collecting the beacons of WiFi and Bluetooth devices from mobile phones to triangulate and estimate the locations of individuals inside buildings without violating their privacy. A mathematical model is presented to compute the expected time of exposure between users. Furthermore, a virus spread mathematical model as well as iterative spread tracking algorithms are proposed to predict the probability of individuals being infected even with limited data.
