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

Environmental monitoring should be minimally disruptive to the ecosystems that it is embedded in. Therefore, the project Robocoenosis suggests using biohybrids that blend into ecosystems and use life forms as sensors. However, such a biohybrid has limitations regarding memory-as well as power-capacities, and can only sample a limited number of organisms. We model the biohybrid and study the degree of accuracy that can be achieved by using a limited sample. Importantly, we consider potential misclassification errors (false positives and false negatives) that lower accuracy. We suggest the method of using two algorithms and pooling their estimations as a possible way of increasing the accuracy of the biohybrid. We show in simulation that a biohybrid could improve the accuracy of its diagnosis by doing so. The model suggests that for the estimation of the population rate of spinning
