Case studies about smart contracts in healthcare.
Article in Digital health. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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) such as devices and sensors are a fast growth reality which our bureaucratical and archaic institutional system is not yet ready to embrace its functionalities. In the health system, many developments are made, and smart devices are the key to preventing, studying, investigating, and solving a lot of diseases and improving our health system. But along with this, innovation is necessary for the hospitals, for example, to have a proper system that provides storage of health data information and respects the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with the use of smart contracts that secure the integrity and disclosure of the patient's data, since the majority of hospitals still use paper, physical records to store data. In this study, we will briefly analyse and explain three different suggested methods to deal with the challenges that Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) encounters. We will not choose which one is the best because of the different features and the countries they are proposed but will emphasize the benefits and challenges which one has.
