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

To address the problems of low monitoring area coverage rate and the long moving distance of nodes in the process of coverage optimization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), a multi-strategy improved sparrow search algorithm for coverage optimization in a WSN (IM-DTSSA) is proposed. Firstly, Delaunay triangulation is used to locate the uncovered areas in the network and optimize the initial population of the IM-DTSSA algorithm, which can improve the convergence speed and search accuracy of the algorithm. Secondly, the quality and quantity of the explorer population in the sparrow search algorithm are optimized by the non-dominated sorting algorithm, which can improve the global search capability of the algorithm. Finally, a two-sample learning strategy is used to improve the follower position update formula and to improve the ability of the algorithm to jump out of the local optimum. Simulation results show that the coverage rate of the IM-DTSSA algorithm is increased by 6.74%, 5.04% and 3.42% compared to the three other algorithms. The average moving distance of nodes is reduced by 7.93 m, 3.97 m, and 3.09 m, respectively. The results mean that the IM-DTSSA algorithm can effectively balance the coverage rate of the target area and the moving distance of nodes.
