Health Control of Tree Trunk Utilizing Microwave Imaging and Reverse Problem Algorithms.
Article in ACS omega, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The voids in their trunk significantly affect tropical trees' health. Both the wood and timber industries may face substantial financial losses because of the lack of an effective technique to inspect the defected trees through deep zonal monitoring. Microwave imaging offers the advantages of mobility, processing time, compactness, and resolution over alternative imaging methods. An ultra-wide band (UWB) imaging system consisting of UWB antennas and a reverse problem algorithm is proposed. Several conditions, such as the size of trunk samples (16-30 cm), number of targets, size of voids, heterogeneity of media, and number of layers, are considered in experimental studies. Based on these studies, cylindrical wooden models with 100 and 140 mm diameters, one void at the center, and three voids in different locations were 3D printed. After proving the system's ability through simulation and measurements on 3D models, a rubber-wood trunk with a length of 75 cm was cut into smaller pieces. The images created utilizing the measured data showed that the system could detect voids in the rubber trunk. Furthermore, the system indicated a high percentage of reliability and repeatability.
