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

The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) is critical to the advancement of ambient intelligence (AmI), as it enables systems to understand contextual information and react accordingly. While many solutions focus on user-centric services that provide enhanced comfort and support, few expand on scenarios in which multiple users are present simultaneously, leaving a significant gap in service provisioning. To address this problem, this paper presents a multi-agent system in which software agents, aware of context, advocate for their users' preferences and negotiate service settings to achieve solutions that satisfy everyone, taking into account users' flexibility. The proposed negotiation algorithm is illustrated through a smart lighting use case, and the results are analyzed in terms of the concrete preferences defined by the user and the selected settings resulting from the negotiation in regard to user flexibility.
