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 Internet of Things (IoT) and Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) have become hot topics among researchers because of the increased availability of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the electronic components required to control and connect them (e.g., microcontrollers, single board computers, and radios). LoRa is a wireless technology, intended for the IoT, that requires low power and provides long-range communications, which can be useful for ground and aerial applications. This paper explores the role that LoRa plays in FANET design by presenting a technical overview of both, and by performing a systematic literature review based on a breakdown of the communications, mobility and energy topics involved in a FANET implementation. Furthermore, open issues in protocol design are discussed, as well as other challenges associated with the use of LoRa in the deployment of FANETs.
