Application of an Enhanced Whale Optimization Algorithm on Coverage Optimization of Sensor.
Article in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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 wireless sensor network (WSN) is an essential technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) but has the problem of low coverage due to the uneven distribution of sensor nodes. This paper proposes a novel enhanced whale optimization algorithm (WOA), incorporating Lévy flight and a genetic algorithm optimization mechanism (WOA-LFGA). The Lévy flight technique bolsters the global search ability and convergence speed of the WOA, while the genetic optimization mechanism enhances its local search and random search capabilities. WOA-LFGA is tested with 29 mathematical optimization problems and a WSN coverage optimization model. Simulation results demonstrate that the improved algorithm is highly competitive compared with mainstream algorithms. Moreover, the practicality and the effectiveness of the improved algorithm in optimizing wireless sensor network coverage are confirmed.
