Inventing a robust road-vehicle flood level monitoring device for disaster mitigation.

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
Flooding impedes road utility and the frequency has increased across countries of the world owing to global climate change phenomena. Global road flooding casualties have risen from 371,800 in 2015 to 842,000 in 2017 resulting to economic losses valued at approximately US$71 billion. Existing devices that offer warning signals on safe threshold during flooding are predictive in nature and based on complex technologies that are cumbersome and rather expensive thereby affecting the attractiveness to low-economy societies of developing countries. There is therefore a dare need for better inventions towards greater mitigation. This paper presents an adaptive, affordable, robust, efficient and effective road vehicle flood level monitoring device for detecting rising flood on roads above a user defined safe threshold to mitigate road flooding disasters. The device operates on the principle of level conductivity sensor. The developed device offers interoperability with Google map enabling the level of flood on road to be accessed by road users online when fully commercialized. By this, road users are aware of the dangerous levels of flood to enable them use alternative routes. The study therefore recommends for adoption of mandatory inclusion of this invention on roads towards averting the usual road flooding hazard in Africa.
